Is mononucleosis treatble

Answer 1

There is no "cure" for mononucleosis. The treatment consists of getting lots of rest, drinking lots of fluids and using medications to help with symptoms, such as throat lozenges for sore throats, and acetaminophen or ibuprofen for headaches and muscle aches. In children under 19, aspirin has been linked to a potentially fatal condition called Reye's syndrome, so you should not take aspirin unless instructed by your doctor.

Included in "getting lots of rest" is avoiding strenuous activities like sports. Your body needs real rest in order to recover quickly. If you have mono, you probably won't feel energetic, and it's important not to push yourself (since doing so can delay your recovery).

Answer 2

Yes, it is, but treatment is usually 'conservative'. What I mean by 'conservative' is lots of rest, lots of good quality nutritious food, and good fresh air. Mononucleosis or Glandular Fever is a debilitating illness mostly affecting young people. Because it is so debilitating, a long convalescence is called for. People who rush back into their normal activities commonly find that it takes a couple of years to get back to normal health. You save a lot of time in the long run by taking convalescence slowly in the short term. Unfortunately, there is quite a lot of evidence showing that mononucleosis is one of the bugs involved in causing ME or CFS or CFIDS.

Answer 3

Mononucleosis is caused by a virus. Antibiotics will not be effective against it. Generally speaking a person simply recovers from mononucleosis over time. Treatment is usually confined to alleviating symptoms. Some studies have indicated that the antiviral valomaciclovir may be helpful in speeding recovery.
