One opinion
Well if you have a cold sore, that is a form of herpes and you should get it checked out.
I don't want to scare you but I've all these symptoms in my research on HIV/AIDS....have this checked immediately?!A cold sore is an inflamed blister around the mouth and lips. The symptoms of a cold sore are fever, sore throat, pain around the mouth, and swollen glands around the neck.

Applying a warm compress to swollen salivary glands can help promote circulation and reduce inflammation. Cold compresses are generally not recommended as they may not be as effective for this type of swelling.
There are three main types of mouth ulcers: canker sores, cold sores, and oral thrush. Canker sores are small, painful sores inside the mouth, while cold sores are fluid-filled blisters on the lips or around the mouth. Oral thrush appears as white patches on the tongue and inside the cheeks. These ulcers can be distinguished by their location, appearance, and symptoms.
No, mouth ulcers are not the same as oral herpes. Mouth ulcers, also known as canker sores, are small open sores that occur inside the mouth, while oral herpes is an infection caused by the herpes simplex virus, typically manifesting as cold sores on the lips or mouth.
That is hard to answer because you are comparing a disease, influenza (or "flu"), to a symptom, swollen glands. There are many diseases and disorders that can cause swollen glands. Swollen glands are mostly an indication that your immune system is reacting to an infection or inflammation of some kind. Furthermore, the outcome of the flu vs. that of swollen glands can vary quite a bit. Most of the time, flu is just a slightly more uncomfortable inconvenience than is a common cold (both flu and colds can cause swollen glands). On the other hand, approximately 36,000 people in the US die from the flu every year (elderly people are more vulnerable). So, flu can be worse than swollen glands in this scenario. Mumps is one of the diseases that can cause swollen glands, and although it is usually not that serious in children, it is often very dangerous for adults. Mononucleosis causes swollen glands, which is an even more serious disease if untreated. And toward the worst end of the scale, leukemia ("blood cancer") can cause swollen glands as a symptom. And approximately 22,000 deaths in the United States are attributed to only one of several types of leukemia in a year. It almost comes down to a toss of the coin of which is worse and depends on how "worse" is measured.
You might have a swollen ear after a cold because you have an ear infection. You might also have swollen lymph nodes that make the ear appear swollen.
A cold sore itself can cause swollen lymph nodes.
There are several types of mouth sores that can occur, including canker sores, cold sores, and oral thrush. Canker sores are small ulcers that appear inside the mouth, cold sores are caused by the herpes virus and appear on the lips, and oral thrush is a fungal infection that can develop on the tongue and inside the cheeks.
ONLY USE COLD WATER for a swollen eyelid. Hot water stimulates the cells and makes it more swollen.
