Yes. It is possible for only one of your glands to be swollen. Lymph nodes typically swell nearest to a body infection, so there may be a minor infection wherever it is swollen or if you have been sick recently. Even acne can create a swollen gland near the face or under the chin. However, if the gland is hard and really painful- you need to get it checked out by your doctor. This usually means that your glands are having trouble fighting the infection and need the aid of antibiotics or other treatment.

Is there a gland where the top of your ear meets your head that could swell on both sides at the same time?
The Parotid glands are about where you describe. They are salavary glands and they can swell. If both swell it is usually from infection. One can also get stones in the ducts that drain the salavary glands. A stone would block the fliud and cause it to back up and the gland to swell. At CT scan would determine if there is a stone. Hopefully it's not mumps.

How many thyroids do cats have?
One. The thyroid gland in cats is a bi-lobed structure located next to the trachea. Bi-lobed means the gland splits into two equal parts, so it looks like two separate glands, but it is only one. In addition to the thyroid gland, many cats have extra thyroid tissue elsewhere in the chest cavity. This ectopic (out of place) tissue can function similarly to the tissue found in the thyroid gland, and can also develop the same problems as the thyroid gland; but this extra tissue is not a gland.
