General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello Dear. There is a big list of causes of lymph nodes in the neck. Kindly ask your brother to meet a physician and get examined. So unless he is examined thoroughly it is difficult to pin point to a particular cause. I will list out a few causes for your knowledge.

Since your brother had tooth extraction in november there is a high possibility that it might be due to infection resulting from extraction.

Other causes are-
1. Streptococcal pharyngitis
2. Viral respiratory infection
3. Rubella
4. Infectious mononucleosis
5. Toxoplasmosis
6. Tuberculosis
7. Brucellosis

Then comes rare causes like- lymphoma, leukemia etc.

So kindly ask your brother to get evaluated by a physician at the earliest.

Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you.
All the best
With warm regards
