From what I have been told it sounds pretty normal. Dt1 is like this, and the gp explained that once they have been swollen a few times sometimes they can just stay enlarged for a long time. As long as he seems fine in himself I probably wouldn't worry too much.
I have an enlarged lymph node in my neck, which has been there since 1993, and I have had it checked and every one says its not anything to worry about

mine has had one that sticks out all the time.

I have asked various GP's but they never seem to worry so I am trying not to too! It does get bigger when ill etc but is noticeable all the time!

Hope someone else comes along who is of more help!
