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.
