How Long Does The Fatigue Last In Case Of Epstein-barr Virus?

My son was diagnosed with mono in early April. He is still suffering from extreme fatigue, muscle weakness, and lack of energy. His bloodwork shows that the epstein-barr virus is still active in his system. How long does the fatigue associated with mono/epstein-barr virus generally last?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The fatigue associated with viral illnesses including epstein barr normally lasts for a few weeks though in some cases it can last months.

It varies from one person to the next. If he still has an active infection then he will still experience effects such as tiredness.

I hope this helps
