What are the symptoms of mono?

Question

and how do you get rid of it?

Answer 1

Infectious mononucleosis, also known as Pfeiffer's disease, mono (in the United States of America) and more commonly known as glandular fever in other English-speaking countries, is an infectious disease. It occurs most commonly in adolescents and young adults, where it is characterized by fever, sore throat, muscle soreness, and fatigue. Infectious mononucleosis typically produces a mild illness and is often asymptomatic. Mononucleosis is predominantly caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which infects B cells (B-lymphocytes), producing a reactive lymphocytosis predominantly consisting of atypical lymphocytes, a specific type of T-cell that gives the disease its name.

The name "kissing disease" is often applied to mono in casual speech, as in developed countries it is most common at the same age when adolescents and young adults are initiating romantic behaviour. This co-occurrence is not apparent in undeveloped countries, where poor sanitation and close living arrangements cause the causative virus to be spread at a much earlier age, when the disease is mild and seldom diagnosed. Both males and females can get mononucleosis.

There is no cure, but stay hydrated and stay in bed as much as possible. It stays in your system, but decreases over time...you will be "immune" from now on since your body will know how to stop symptoms from appearing. My recommendation is stay in bed at least a couple more days after you feel better.

Answer 3

Light headness, fever, swollen glands, tiredness, sore stomach, trouble breathing, hives, and sometimes blisters.

I have had it before so I know what I'm saying.

Lay down and get lots of rest and fluids. But your best bet would be to visit your doctor and get som antibiotics.

Hope it's not.
