Brief Answer:
Ebstein Barr virus leads to Infectious Mononucleosus,

Detailed Answer:
Hi welcome to Health care magic,

Ebstein Barr virus leads to Infectious Mononucleosus, for which antiviral medications can be given in the acute stage.

In recurrent exacerbations, steroids can be tried. But symptomatic treatment like rest and simple pain killers are safer.

Look out for enlargement of spleen.

Also to prevent repeated attacks boost your immunity with a balanced diet with a lot of fruits and greens and plenty of exercise of your choice.
