Symptom #6: Swollen Lymph Nodes
The lymph nodes make up a very important part of our natural defense system. They help to filter potentially dangerous pathogens from the bodily fluids, while they also house a lot of white blood cells that can be called into action to protect the body when needed. They are found mostly in the neck, around the armpits, and in the genital area.
When we are ill, the lymph nodes can be called into action. This can cause them to become swollen as they are working hard for the cause. In the case of a roseola infection, patients usually experience swollen lymph nodes in their necks.
