A member asked:

Can you have glandular fever and feel fine but just have swollen glands?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Glandular fever: This is generally used as a synonym for infectious mononucleosis due to epstein barr virus. It would be unusual to have this without symptoms other than swollen glands, but anything is possible. Stay well.
