How Can Infectious Mononucleosis Be Treated?

My son, (23 years old, 6ft, 180 lb, 2 years ago he was much heavier though), got 10 days ago mononucleosis infection with fever, was taking acetaminophen, and was wrongly diagnosed and given amoxiciline (took it for a week); developed serious skin rash, and found with enlarged liver and enzymes in the range of 200. The day before yesterdays testing he played soccer. Question: Is the 200 enzyme level a cause for alarm and seeking hospital or we can expect that it will subside once his infection resolves? Thank you in advance for your opinion!

Hello,

You should wait the enzyme level to slow down but during this time I will advise not to do any sport or exercise because mononucleosis infection gives hepatosplenomegaly and you need to be careful.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Elona Dashi
