Swollen Tonsils
Tonsils are the lymph nodes located on both sides of the back of the throat. They work to defend the body against infection. When the Epstein-Barr virus attacks, this part can become infected and inflamed. Therefore, people with mononucleosis tend to have swollen tonsils. You can check this by putting the finger under the jaw or larynx. If the area is swollen or tender to touch, it can be a possible sign of the condition. [13]
