Hi,thank you for posting your query on health care magic.
Looking at your query,you son might be suffering from Lymphoma(caused due to abnormal growth of blood cells- lymphocytes),in which case he needs to take Medicines.
It would be advisable to have Ultrasonography of neck and fine needle aspiration cytology(histological diagnosis) to find out the cause of swelling.
Then it would be advisable to consult an Otolaryngologist doctor.
Hope this answers your question.Take care.
