Glandular fever is an infectious illness that causes swelling of the lymph nodes. Lymph nodes, containing lymphatic fluid, are part of the immune system, and when swollen they feel like round bumps on your neck, armpits and groin.
Glandular fever is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus passed on through saliva or intimate contact. Often the person passing on the virus may not display symptoms of glandular fever but symptoms can include fever, weakness, sore throat, swollen glands, muscle soreness, headache, rashes, enlarged liver or spleen.
