Hello,

Your husband will need a thorough examination of his lymph nodes, his armpits, groins, neck and other areas that have lymph nodes should be checked by a doctor. Probably his liver and spleen will need to be checked with an ultrasound as well.
Generally, if lymph nodes are under 2 cm in diameter and are not growing with time, there is nothing to worry. So he needs to have them checked now and then rechecked regularly in a few weeks-months.

I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
