Treatment in signs of mono

This entry was posted on Dec 22 2011

The illness is usually self-limited and passes much the same way other common viral illness resolve. In most cases of signs of mono, no specific treatment is necessary. Doctors will, however, recommend bedrest and fluids.
It is recommended that patients with mono avoid participation in any contact sports for three to four weeks after the onset of symptoms to prevent trauma to the enlarged spleen. The enlarged spleen is susceptible to rupture, which can be life threatening.
A physical examination sometimes reveals an enlarged liver and/or enlarged spleen, or the liver and spleen may simply be tender when gently pressed.
When the patient’s temperature returns to normal, they should gradually resume normal activities as strength returns.
