Well, they won't get any better if you keep playing with them!. I wouldn't worry unless you had a fever along with it!. Sometimes our bodies fight off small infections we don't even know we have, and our glands get swollen!. So, keep an eye on them, quit playing with em so much, and if it continues to get worse, see a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
