A few weeks ago he had a painful lump on top of his shoulder near his neck. That one went away. He does have asthma and allergies. His tonsils are also enlarged. He also complains about headaches.

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having enlarged infra clavicular lymph nodes producing a lump.
This can be due to,
1, active throat infection, tonsillitis or,
2, had history of lump on the shoulder in the past.
Consult your doctor.
He might require one course of antibiotic medicine for 5 days.
Ok and take care.
