My teen has hard two moveable lumps one each side where his jaw meets his neck and two in his neck, one on each side. Should I take him to the GP?

No, of course not. Instead why don’t you post on an internet site where lots of people without medical qualifications will offer you unhelpful advice, google links and anecdotal evidence that will either lull you into a false sense of security or scare you shitless.

Yes. Even in Covid they will see them.

Yes.
It’s probably glands but best to check.
Has he had a cold or infection lately ?

You having a bad day???

If it was me OP I'd give it till Monday if he feels otherwise ok. They might go down by then. Probably just glands and he's fighting something off.
