Mononucleosis Treatments

By Rickey Henolap


The most commonly reported effect or a mononucleosis symptom of being attacked by the herpes virus that causes mononucleosis is overwhelming lethargy. The infected person feels and acts much like someone who is suffering from depression. Mental fatigue coupled with the real physical inability to exert oneself is a mononucleosis symptom. The ill person will lie in bed for days. If not treated that mononucleosis symptom will attack other organs in the body which causes further complications of the system.

In some cases of mononucleosis after two or three days in addition to flu-like symptoms a patient may experience more severe conditions such as swollen lymph nodes, a sudden appearance of jaundice (a person's skin and eyes turn yellowish). Sometimes one of the symptoms of mononucleosis is the appearance of little red spots that resemble bruises and appear in the mouth area. Abdominal pain is also not uncommon for mononucleosis patients. Occasionally a measles-like rash can appear on a person's face or body one of the symptoms of mononucleosis. Some rear symptoms of mononucleosis may include cough, stiff neck, nosebleed, shortness of breath and rapid heartbeat.

Drinking a cup of apple cider vinegar and honey can be helpful in the treatment of mononucleosis. The acidity of the apple cider vinegar will flush away toxins and cleanse the back of the throat while honey acts as a lubricant to provide sore throat relief. Drinking frequently as needed will ease the pain and accelerate recovery. This specific treatment of mononucleosis is excellent for providing an immediate remedy to this problem.

These white blood cells actually attack red blood cells that are infected by the herpes type virus that causes the mononucleosis symptom of tiredness. Red blood cells are needed to fulfill all the functions of a healthy body. White blood cells are needed to attack and to kill invading virus organisms. When the body is fighting an attack by an invading organism, it will signal a shut down of activity and actually initiate fatigue. The body needs to concentrate all of its internal functions into destroying the invading viral attack.

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.

There is one drug that you do not want to use as one of the mononucleosis treatments. That drug is amoxicillin. It has been shown that the majority of the people, who take this drug as one of their mononucleosis treatments, have gotten some sort of rash because of the mono. The medication Cortisone is given if your tonsils are beginning to swell as one of the mononucleosis treatments. These are the things that you should look into when you are trying to get treated for mononucleosis. Once you have gotten better, then the things that you used to normally do, will not be as tiring as they once were
