10 Epstein Barr Virus Symptoms
Symptom #8: Swollen Lymph Nodes
Presence of swollen lymph nodes may be a symptom of Epstein Barr Virus. However, swollen lymph nodes may also be the result of other problems such as strep infection. You may therefore need to visit a healthcare provider for further assessment. Lymph nodes are part of the lymph system which helps clear impurities and toxins from the bloodstream.
The lymph system itself exists as a network of channels and nodes spread throughout the body. These channels flush out toxins and impurities including infection-causing viruses and bacteria which have been isolated by the infection-fighting white blood cells. You can feel the swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpits and the groin.
