Can you get a ruptured spleen from throwing up if you had mono recently?
That would take some pretty violent throwing up, one symptom of mono is an enlarged spleen and at that time the spleen could rupture or tear just from the swelling caused by infection. Normally a ruptured spleen is caused by blunt force trauma, the type you would be susceptible to from a blow, contact sports or a car accident. Pain in the upper left abdomen after injury, with local tenderness to touch and mental confusion should be treated as an emergency.
