Conjunctivitis Symptom #10: Swelling in Front of Ears
The lymph nodes form a very important part of our immune system. They help to filter pathogens from the blood and also act as a store for white blood vessels that can be called into action to help fight disease. In the case of viral conjunctivitis, the lymph nodes will play an important part in fighting off the infection.
Lymph nodes are found in various areas throughout the body, and there are nodes in front of our ears. Being close to the eyes, these nodes will be working hard to fight the nearby infection and this can cause them to become quite swollen.
