Mononucleosis - symptom, Treatment of Mononucleosis

Mononucleosis Information

Mononucleosis (often called "mono") is an infection caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. The designation "mononucleosis" refers to an increase in a special type of white blood cells (lymphocytes) in the bloodstream relative to the other blood components as a result of the EBV infection. One common way to "catch" mono is by kissing someone who has been infected, which is how the illness got its nickname.

Symptoms of Mononucleosis

  • constant fatigue
  • fever
  • sore throat
  • loss of appetite
  • swollen lymph nodes (also commonly known as glands, located in your neck, underarms, and groin)
  • headaches
  • sore muscles
  • larger-than-normal liver and spleen
  • skin rash

Treatment of Mononucleosis

There is no cure for mononucleosis, but the good news is that even if you do nothing, the illness will go away by itself, usually in 3 to 4 weeks. They're immune and won't get mononucleosis again.
