At first this may seem scary as this is one of the symptoms of cancer of the lymph nodes. However, oftentimes these swell simply because of the onset of a cold. If they hurt for more than 2 weeks then see your doctor!

Your pain may also be caused by an ifection, allergies, bacteria or even a tumor. If the duration of pain is more than five days, see a doctor.

You are probably fighting an infection -- there are many possibilities but mononucleosis is often suspected. Certain kinds of lymphomas also cause swollen, sore glands. If this symptom does not subside on its own after a brief period (3 to 5 days) you should see your doctor.
