This happpened to me when I had an allergic reaction to medicine 4 days after I stopped taking it. I had to go to ER as it was slowly closing off my windpipe. Because of that and the unknowns of how allergies can pop up on things you never reacted to before, I'd go in asap to my doctor.

My lymph nodes have been swollen before when my allergies are acting up.

If you have no other symptoms I would probably just keep an eye on it. I have had swollen glands there before as well. If I remember correctly they are your parotid glands, but what the heck do I know? I'm a mental health nurse. If your brain swells, call me ☺

I know exactly what you mean!! I usually go into panic mode, 'this is it....' Mine go down after about 3 or 4 days of it being tender. I don't actually ever feel like I'm sick when it happens, either. Weird. I've never gone to the dr. becuase my mom's a nurse (and Lola, too...) and I tell her all about it. She says, "if they don't go down in a week, go have them checked."

I would freak out and call my doctor's office. I don't like swollen things anywhere on my body.

There were a few years when I got that way every Spring. The prettier the Spring, more pain did I have. I went to the dentist to see if I had a bad tooth...nothing was found.
That has passed and now I just get sinus pressure. As we all know every person is different. If you still have it next week, a trip to the doctor may be needed. For now...I'm blaming the weather.
