What Causes Sore Throat With A Lump On Back Of The Head?

My son, who turns 18 next month, woke up this morning complaining of sore throat and a lump on back of head (occipital lymph node?). Could this be mono? Lyme? He is in very good health otherwise, eats well, works out almost daily, gets plenty of sleep.
