Many patients ask me “What are the typical symptoms of glandular fever?”

Well let’s have a look at the most common symptoms of glandular fever.

Symptoms typically include:

• Swollen glands in the neck, armpits or groin
• Fever 
• Fatigue
• Sore throat

Some patients will also suffer from:

• Headache
• Aching muscles
• Poor appetite
• Nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea
• Skin rash (especially in children)
• Abdominal pain
• Puffy eyelids
• Sensitivity to light
• Cough or runny nose
• Liver inflammation
• Enlarged spleen

Some people, particularly children, may exhibit none of these classical symptoms. When my young son picked up glandular fever we just passed it off as a mild cold. It was only a few months later when he had a blood test done, that we realised it was glandular fever.

Most glandular fever symptoms are mild and will disappear within a couple of weeks when adequate rest, fluids, an immune-boosting diet and the right supplements and herbs are taken (see my e-book for further ideas).

In some cases, glandular fever symptoms can be severe, and in fact may be life-threatening.
In the next post we’ll have a look at the four symptoms of glandular fever that you should never ignore.
