Cheap errings: Yes, the swollen gland is most likely due to either increased inflammation, possible localized allergic reaction or possibly localized infection of the piercing. The body can react to any foreign body -earrings Glands pop up when there is inflammation or infection close by. You might want to remove those earrings , do warm compresses to area, might need antibiotics, topically or orally
