Feel around the top of your neck, around the line where you feel your pulse. If your glands are swollen you should feel two lumps on either side of where your trachea lies, protruding from your next.
Another place to feel them is in the armpit!
If your not sure exactly where too look, search lymph glands/nodes through Yahoo or Google and see what diagrams come back!

Sometimes they are so swollen that you can see them, or if you rub the top of your neck you will feel the nodules under the skin.

you can probably look in the mirror and see a swelling on the sides of your neck.
