I'm feeling a bit worried because I've noticed some hard, pea-sized lumps behind both of my ears, and I also have these squishy lumps on both sides of my neck, although they're not near my jaw. Could you help me understand what these might be?

I'm really worried about my dad, who's 63. He's having this problem where there's a strong smell, like mucous, when he breathes out, both from his mouth and nose. He's never been into drinking alcohol or smoking, so I'm not sure what's going on. Could you help me understand what's causing this and maybe recommend a good mouthwash or something that might help with his breathing?
