Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that those swollen glands could be a sign of infection, also called abscess.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a surgeon for a physical exam.
They may need surgical drainage, besides antibiotic therapy.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
