Hello and welcome.
I am assuming the knots or lumps are in the anterior part of his neck, and this could possibly be related to abnormalities of the thyroid, parathyroid, etc.
A FNAC would be a good idea, and also inclusion of an endocrinologist in the panel of doctors you are consulting would be a very good idea. An ultrasound of the neck region will also help provide a more clear picture.
Best wishes.
