hi,
from the description of your symptoms your friend could be having enlarged lymph nodules that are brought about by an underlying infection, stress related condition, hormone imbalance problems.
i would suggest during the time your friend gets the swelling he should be reviewed by a doctor and done the necessary tests.
hope to have answered your query.
thanks and take care
