Watchful waiting: Most likely the glands are reacting to something although you report no obvious infection. If you are only having the swelling with no other symptoms your doctor will most likely recommend your return in 6 weeks or so for reevaluation

ENT doc: Probably ok. Should be followed by a specialist. See ENT surgeon for this problem.
