Swollen glands/liver/spleen
6 Answers
Last year I had all of the above, and the doctor said he was fairly certain it was Epstein Barr. I've had glandular fever before, and so all the symptoms were familiar. However, blood tests came back negative, LFTs came back normal, and so no explanation was found as to why I had swollen glands, lethargy, enlarged liver and spleen, jaundice and extreme fatigue.
For a few weeks now, my throat has been very swollen and red/angry looking, and for the last 7 days or so.. I've had sharp pains in my spleen and, to a lesser degree, in my liver. It hurts to apply any pressure in these areas, and I feel constantly tired.
Last time I saw the Doctor, he looked into my throat and said it was not pustular (ie not bacterial) and tests failed to identify a particular virus. So if it's not bacterial, and nothing's showing up in my bloods, what could it be?
