Answer 1

there are many things that can cause swollen lymph glands. but yes swollen glands are a symptom. read this.

Symptoms of staph infection:

Pain and swelling around an open wound (cut or scrape) of the skin.

Furuncles (boils) and carbuncles, white-headed pimples around hair follicles.

Blistering and peeling skin, in infants and young children.

Swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpits or groin.

If you suspect you have a staph infection get treatment by talking to a physician and getting a blood culture. the docter will diagnose it. if he diagnoses it as nothing but sorenesss and you still have doubts then get a second opinion. Your gut feeling is always more reliable than what someone else says. Only you know exactly how your body feels.
