Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
He has enlarged lymphnode. It can be due to reactive hyperplasia due to some infection other then infectious mononucleosis or it can be due to tuberculosis or lymphoma. It is possible that without symptoms he may have any of these conditions. So go for biopsy. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then he should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
