Swollen lymph nodes, also known as lymphadenopathy, can occur as a result of the body’s immune response to SJS. The lymph nodes, which are small, bean-shaped structures, play a critical role in the body’s defense against infections and other harmful substances.
In SJS, the lymph nodes may become enlarged and tender, particularly in the neck, armpits, and groin areas. This swelling can cause discomfort and may be accompanied by other symptoms, such as fever and fatigue.
Swollen glands can be a sign of the body’s response to the underlying cause of SJS, such as an infection or a reaction to a medication. It is essential to seek medical help if swollen glands are present alongside other SJS symptoms. (8)
