Hi,
It is not that easy to identify swelling to be Cowper's gland. Yes, it can enlarge when there is obstruction / infection. Doing a ultrasound scrotum can help diagnose the cause.
To know the issue really with Cowper's gland - you won't be getting the pre-ejaculatory fluid before you ejaculate. Next time give a check before masturbation or sex.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
