dreamer, dear, I don't know if I'm qualified to answer but if you've had these swollen glands for 3 days, have they increased in size at all over this time period? If they have, I'd get ahold of the doctor & tell him - don't minimize it either.

Swollen lymph nodes can result form different anti-convulsants. But then on the dark side, swollen lymph nodes can be a symptom of Stevens-Johnson syndrome too, a serious allergic response to certain drugs.

Better to over-react & feel a little silly than not to react & have it perhaps be serious.
