A patient enters the emergency room reporting that he has tender, swollen “glands” along the left side of the front of his neck. As the attending physician, you notice that he has a poorly bandaged cut on his left cheek that is large and infected giving you a clue to what is going on. Explain to your patient exactly what his swollen “glands” are and how they became swollen? How might this situation be treated?
