GF but no swollen glands

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hey guys, has anyone had glandular fever and not had swollen glands? I am driving myself crazy thinking it’s not normal that I don’t have swollen glands with this and only a mild sore throat. Please let me know if anyone has had similar ?

    Hey Paige,

    Yes that is normal just to reassure - remember that glandular fever is just the name of the virus, it doesn't automatically mean that glands are the worst part of the symptoms or that you feel anything in glands at all - I didn't really have a sore throat or anything with the virus either after an initial cold type thing at the start, it was just how it made me feel so wiped out and with low grade fever all the time. But remember everyone can be different with this so comparing one to another is not always the best thing because it can affect one person in a different way from it affecting another.

    Thinking of you still! Believing you're going to get better!

    Very normal. I didn't have huge glands, only slightly swollen and the mild sore throat.
