10 Symptoms of Swimmer's Ear
Symptom #9: Swollen Lymph Nodes
Located in strategic positions in the body, lymph nodes are a key component of our body’s immune system. They help produce and store antibodies and white blood cells that are responsible for attacking invaders. The lymph nodes help to keep the blood clean and free from unwelcome guests.
When we develop an infection, the lymph nodes spring into action to help deal with the problem. We don’t usually even notice this, but in the case of severe infections, the lymph nodes can be overworked. This can cause the lymph nodes to swell, a sure sign that a swimmer’s ear infection has reached an advanced stage.
