What Is Herpetic Whitlow?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
5. Swollen Lymph Nodes
Our lymph nodes play a very important part in helping to keep us safe from pathogens. They help to keep the blood clear of unwelcome visitors that might be harmful to us. They are located in numerous locations in the body, most notably under the armpits, and in the neck and groin.
As one of the key components of the immune system, our lymph nodes will be hard at work if an infection is present. This can cause them to become swollen, and this is a potential symptom of herpetic whitlow. They may also be a little sore at times, but they are nothing to be concerned about.
