10 Symptoms of Typhus
Symptom #10: Swollen Lymph Nodes
Lymph nodes are glands that are found in various locations of the body, most noticeably in the neck, armpit, and genital region. These glands are an important part of our natural immune system and help to filter pathogens from the body’s fluids. When we have an infection, they are often made to work much harder than usual.
This increased workload can cause these glands to swell up. They are often noticeable as swollen areas beneath the skin. It is not a dangerous symptom in itself, but it is a sign that the body is fighting hard against a present infection.
