Swollen glands under jaw line

Hi my little girl (4 and a half) woke up this morning with enlarged lymph glands each side of her neck, when I ask her she says she has a slight sore throat.
She definately has a runny nose and watery eyes but apart from that is alright in herself, no temperature or anything.
What concerns me is that the glands seem huge, I can even see them protruding without having to feel them.
I've tried to call our surgery which seems closed due to the weather I suppose.
Is that a common thing? What can I give her to reduce the swelling?
