Will Sleeping On Side Or Stomach Cause Spleen To Rupture After Being Diagnosed With Mono?

I was diagnosed with mono five days ago and I think my spleen may be enlarged now, though the CNP said it was not when I was in there. What is the best way to sleep? I'm scared sleeping on my side or stomach will cause it to rupture under the pressure.

Hi and thanks for the query,
I believe its better to get a good clinical review from you primary care physician. A complete blood count, coupled with an abdominal ultrasound with a good clinical review shall guide towards appropriate diagnosis and management. Kind regards
