What Is Glandular Fever?
5. Sore Throat
The main symptom of glandular fever is a sore throat, and it can be very sore indeed in many cases. It is also common for the patient’s lymph nodes to become swollen, particularly those in the neck. This occurs because the lymph nodes need to start working harder in order to help fight the infection, thus causing them to grow larger than they usually would be.
A fever is also a common symptom as the body heats itself up to make it a hostile place for intruders. These symptoms can often lead to glandular fever being mistaken for the flu.
