Here's a recent thread about it.

Your story is similar to how I ended up seeing the doctor about it. Years ago when my eye doctor was still alive he said my glands looked swollen, I just ignored it since he was my eye doctor and what the heck would he know right? Anyway flash forward a few years I went to see my primary care doctor for something else, and ended up with a Rx to get an ultrasound of my thyroid and a number for an Endocrinologist.
