Swolllen neck glands can be related to enlarged lymph nodes  These lymph nodes are usually related to an infection in the system.I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation. I also recommend to gargle with salty water. If the symptoms continue, a physical examination is needed. Hope my answer was helpful.If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.Kind regards! Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi General &Family Physician </s>
