mononucleosis symptom

By Rickey Henolap


Mononucleosis is a viral infection that is caused by either the Epstein-Barr virus or cytomegalovirus. Many individuals are exposed to the virus-causing agent while young yet display little to no indication of infection. The disease causes signs of intense, prolonged fatigue, fever, sore throat, weight loss, and lymphodema and is commonly found to affect adolescents and young adults. Incubation and length of symptoms can be as long as several months. Treatment of mononucleosis, therefore, will be a prolonged affair but the effects of the disease can be mollified. Also known as the "kissing disease", mononucleosis can be treated naturally to combat the symptoms. Treatment of mononucleosis can be done in the comfort of the home, without medication.

The symptoms of mono the kissing disease start off by with the average signs of being ill. Most of the time you can expect a sore throat, a headache, and just a tired weak feeling. Your tonsils will more than likely start to swell up and turn a white color. Your lymph nodes on your neck will swell up. You can just touch the outside of your lymph nodes on your neck to generally know if they are swollen up or not. If you have these symptoms you should make sure to go to a doctor. You may not have mono the kissing disease. You should never diagnose yourself through what you think you know. Always visit a doctor.

Any patient experiencing at least one of the symptoms of mononucleosis needs to be immediately seen by a physician. In addition to the similarity between influenza and mononucleosis , the symptoms of mononucleosis may resemble medical conditions such as strep throat , leukemia or lymphoma because of a persistent throat ache.

Garlic is something that has been shown to treat many infections and that includes Mononucleosis. It has natural antibiotics and can help the body fight infection naturally. It is best to buy crushed garlic, but if a person wishes; he or she can buy it in supplement form.

Regular check-ups can also be effective in the treatment for mono kissing disease. Early detection of the virus allows faster treatment for mono kissing disease. It is also, helpful in ensuring good health. Mononucleosis can be detected in the bloodstream. Proper testing is important to determining wether you have developed the virus or not.
