Hello,
Persistent fever with lymph nodes enlargement in the body may be a grievous sign of underlying lymphoma or other issues.
He must be consulted with the nearest primary care center for clinical evaluation and further testing with x-ray, lab and so forth as per the clinical judgment.
In my clinic, I do recommend a tissue biopsy of one of the prominent lymph node for the tissue diagnosis in terms of histopathology.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
