Swollen glands can appear at the same time as a cold sore sometimes because they are the sign of another infection e.g. a throat infection or of generally being rundown and unwell - which is often the scenario for when a cold sore appears (although with me, I find they appear when my lips are chapped or damaged. I have tonsillitis over and over but don't get cold sores, but if I go outside in a rough wind without some kind of lip protection, I get a sore! :rolleyes: ).
