Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the
infectious mononucleosis is a viral infection giving variety of clinical symptoms ranging from mild fever, malaise, spleen enlargement and
lymphadenopathy. It is self limiting condition and no active management is required. The management is usually supportive with:
- Hydration care with plenty of liquids
- Balanced nutritious diet
- Avoidance of contact sports as there is splenomegaly
- Multi-vitamins, minerals and anti oxidants as better immunity support
-
Analgesic as
acetaminophen or others in case of fever above 99 or severe body ache
- There are no role of antibiotics unless the
white blood cell counts are high due to certain reasons
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
