5. Swollen Glands
As mentioned above, Sjogren’s syndrome can make the eyes and mouth dry because of the inflamed glands. Thus, patients who have this condition will also have to deal with swollen glands. On a side note, many factors can cause our glands to get swollen. Sometimes, the swelling can disappear after a few days. Hence, having swollen glands may not always be linked to Sjogren’s syndrome.
If you have Sjogren’s syndrome, several parts of your body can get inflamed or swollen. This is mainly due to having inflamed glands. However, the most common areas in your body that will be affected are the face, neck, groin, and armpits.
