Mono Kissing Disease

By Rickey Henolap


There are many things that you can do to keep yourself healthy if you have been diagnosed with mononucleosis. One of the things that you can do to help with the fever that you get, is to take Tylenol or some other type of pain reliever, such as ibuprofen. These are things that you can do for yourself as mononucleosis treatments.

There is no treatment or drug for the kissing disease mono, however, because it is a cold based virus it will usually go away after it has run its course. Each individual symptom may be treated by getting plenty of bed rest, drinking plenty of fluids, gargling warm salt water and using cough drops. Tylenol which contains acetaminophen or Ibuprofen may be taken to help control any fever.

The confusing factor about the disease is the nature of the symptoms of mononucleosis that very much resemble those of a common flu. During the first few days the symptoms of mononucleosis will include persistent fatigue, severe headache, dizziness, loss of appetite, fever and muscle pains. In the beginning most people would be sure they are dealing with a flu. However, if those conditions persist for more than ten days, one is likely to be facing the symptoms of mononucleosis.

Regular check-ups can also be effective in the treatment for mono kissing disease. Early detection of the virus allows faster treatment for mono kissing disease. It is also, helpful in ensuring good health. Mononucleosis can be detected in the bloodstream. Proper testing is important to determining wether you have developed the virus or not.

One cannot relieve a symptom of mononucleosis with any particular treatment a doctor can give. As a matter of fact, a symptom of mononucleosis will go away on its own. It sometimes takes as short a time period as a couple of weeks, but sometimes these symptoms can persist for months. Sufferers of the illness just have to wait for each symptom of mononucleosis to go away on its own.

When a person has mononucleosis there is danger of the spleen rupturing. This is because the spleen enlarges due to the illness. It is for this reason that it is highly recommended that people with mononucleosis not engage in any activity such as a contact sport that could raise the possibility of the spleen being injured. The time period to remain free of any strenuous exercise is customarily one month.
