I've had the WORST swollen glands this week. Being sick is the pits.
My throat has been so swollen, that it's visible from the outside.
When I was younger I almost had my tonsils taken out due to my constant diagnosis of strep throat. I never did, and I sort of regret it to this day.
Now I usually try to catch it before it happens and take lots of Zinc, Echinacea, and vitamins.
Anyway, I feel ya!
