Swollen Glands
Medically referred to as swollen lymph nodes, swollen glands are another symptom of sore throats. The small glands that filter lymph, the transparent fluid that circulates through the lymphatic system, can become enlarged in response to infection or tumors.
Lymph nodes are widespread within the body and can be found in the armpits, under the jaw and on either side of the neck, among other places.2‘Lymph Nodes and Cancer.’ American Cancer Society, www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-basics/lymph-nodes-and-cancer.html The cause of swollen glands varies and can include the common cold, flu and ear and skin infections.
