Answers:
There is no cure for mononucleosis!. But the good news is that even if you do nothing, the illness will go away by itself, usually in 3 to 4 weeks!. Because mono is caused by a virus, antibiotics such as penicillin won't help unless you have an additional infection like strep throat!. In fact, certain antibiotics can even cause a rash if you take them while you have mono!.

Although there's no magic pill for mono, you can do some things to feel better!. The best treatment is to get plenty of rest, especially during the beginning stages of the illness when your symptoms are the worst!. Put yourself to bed and pass on school, sports, and other activities!.

For the fever and aching muscles, try taking acetaminophen or ibuprofen!.

Did the doctor tell you to take any medicine!? If so have you been following the doctors directions!?

I had a friend who had mono once, it lasted for quite a while so you probably won't get better right away!.

If you get worried that things are not changing, or are getting worse go call or visit your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Go back just to check in!. when i had mono I was sick for months and missed 3 months of school, so keeping a fever isnt too abnormal!. Just go to the doc to make sureWww@Answer-Health@Com

just keep an eye on your temperature you don't want it to get too highWww@Answer-Health@Com
