Mononucleosis and Treatment: Mononucleosis popularly known as the “kissing disease’ is an infectious disease caused by the Epstein-Barr virus; that invades a type of white blood cells called a monocyte and is characterized by fever, swelling of lymph nodes and sore throat.

No specific treatment is necessary in most cases. The illness usually passes much the same way other common viral illness resolve. Doctors however, recommend fluids and bed rest .  Normal activities can be resumed as temperature turns normal and strength returns.

Tips for the care of individuals with mono:

For fever and pain due to swollen lymph glands: Doctors generally recommend ibuprofen and acetaminophen. 

For sore throat: Drink fruit juices, milk shakes, fruit juices, broths, and eat  cool, bland foods. Additionally gargle with aspirin dissolved in hot water.

Note:  An antibiotic will be prescribed to treat that condition if mono is accompanied by a streptococcal infection of the throat. In severe cases, corticosteroid drugs that reduce swelling may be prescribed.

With an enlarged spleen: avoid sporting activities for at least four weeks. Though most people recover in six to eight weeks, in some cases it takes as long as six months for complete recovery. A tired feeling, which may include depression, is the last symptom to disappear. Mono may return in a milder form within a few months. Mono almost never reappears in full-blown form after a year.
