Suggest Therapy For Glandular Fever
Hi I was diagnosed with glandular fever 1 1/2 weeks ago. I was advised not to kiss or have initimate relations for 3 weeks by ENT dept. Would this have been 3 weeks from diagnosis or onset? My symptoms started 4 weeks ago and all have been resolved apart from variable fatigue.

I can understand your concern.
Glandular fever is a viral fever, it will reduce on its own.antibiotic doesn't act on viruses. You should wait until your body develop immunity against it.
yes you are advised for not kissing, as the virus is present in body fluid like saliva.
usually it takes 3 to 4 weeks to reduce.
tips to reduce your fatigue
1. if you are having fever take Tab PARACETAMOL 50mg sos
2.take plenty of fluids
take proper rest
thank you
take care
