Not particularly: Lymph nodes in the neck & back of the head are often more noticeable because they are not buried within fat or deep tissues. They are generally pea sized at rest & enlarge when working. Skin irritation, URI's, throat infections, etc commonly trigger transient enlargement for weeks at a time.

Agree with Dr. F: You may watch and wait. If any of the nodes more than doubles in size, ulcerates, bleeds, your son loses weight or develops fever, see a doctor. Wish you and your son good health!
