You can, but the swollen glands indicate you're fighting off an infection -- maybe the tooth; maybe not; maybe more than one. So you risk infecting your travel mates. If you're running a fever, this is more likely to happen. Also, if the infection travels to your sinuses, Eustachian tubes, or the inner ear, you'll have a most unpleasant time, in that mucous can block tubes that equalize pressure between, say, your sinuses or other enclosed air spaces, and ambient pressure. If you can avoid this air travel until you're well, that would be my suggestion, for you and for others. But from what you've told me it's unlikely to be fatal -- just painful at worst, and miserable at best.
