Swollen Glands
Swollen glands are another symptom that isn't seen in most mild cases of impetigo, but they can develop in moderate and severe forms.4NHS Inform. ‘Impetigo Symptoms and Treatments.’ NHS Inform, 2021, www.nhsinform.scot/illnesses-and-conditions/infections-and-poisoning/impetigo Swollen glands are a sign your body is fighting an infection and are characterized by painful lumps in the neck or under the chin.6NHS. ‘Swollen Glands.’ NHS, 20 Oct. 2020, www.nhs.uk/conditions/swollen-glands
In some cases of impetigo, swollen glands may occur and are not a cause for concern. However, if swollen glands last longer than two weeks and are painful, speaking with a medical professional is recommended.6NHS. ‘Swollen Glands.’ NHS, 20 Oct. 2020, www.nhs.uk/conditions/swollen-glands
