I have swollen glands under my jaw that are size of eggs. I recently had a cold but i am not sure if it is normal for them to be this big. I got them about 3 days ago and went to the doctor but she told me it was just a virus. She did a mono test but came back negative. The glands have been getting more and more painful and i’m not able to swallow.
