Symptom #3: Swollen Lymph Nodes

The lymph nodes are the part of the body’s immune system that filters foreign pathogens and helps fight off infection. Lymphadenopathy is a disease of the lymph nodes where the number, size, or consistency of the lymph nodes is abnormal.

In infectious mononucleosis, inflammation causes the lymph nodes to swell and enlarge, and the disease usually affects the cervical lymph nodes.
