Yes, your spleen can rupture, but it's rare.

The virus usually multiplies silently in the body for 30 to 50 days after infection. Once the fever appears, it often lasts for a week or two. If there are no complications, the major symptoms usually last for 2 to 4 weeks, and then gradually resolve. Some continue to have fatigue for months or even years after the infection.\n\nA long list of possible complications can lengthen mono. These include meningitis, encephalitis, anemia, hepatitis, pneumonia, Reye syndrome, parotitis, or the painful testicular swelling found in mumps.

No it is not possible.  There have been studies done that at the exact moment you sneeze, all other brain function ceases.  You have no brain waves, no heartbeat and the only breathing that occurs is the air that is forced out of your lungs.  For a split second, you are dead.  Just a bit of usless trivia I picked up a few years back.

Generally Mono is a one time event but you will carry the disease in a dormant fashion and that is probally why your second blood tests came back positive.\n\nWith Mono as with any disease--your immune system is stressed and compromised.\nEating well, proper rest and exercise will aide in restoring your immune system.\n\nDepending on how far apart these two cases of Mono are--it is possible you never got rid of it the first time. Mono is on the rise as it becomes resistant to the meds used to treat it.\n\nYou are not having symptoms which may suggest you are a carrier with no active infection.

it is not an infection of the spleen, yes they can still get mono, just that they would not have the risk of splenic rupture after getting mono, good luck

It can be fatal if you do not take care of yourself. Take your medications and watch what you eat and exercise and you can live a long and healthy life.

Well I had mono and I could not return to normal activity for about 5 weeks,  but I had a severe case I was hospitolized and everything but I think a normal case lasts for about 3-4 weeks!  The advice I can give you is rest, drink lots of fluids, and if you didnt go see a doctor yet you need to go see a doctor so you can go on antibiotics and get yourself better!  I hope you feel better soon!!  Lots of Luck!

That's a good question because I really don't think you can ever just die of old age. You are always dying of something! Yes, it might happen because you're old (heart attack, stroke, diabetes) but it is still a reason other than old age. And young people can die of all those things too. \n\nI guess my answer is you cannot die of old age alone.

Get a throat culture if you haven't already to rule out strep or mono.

Mono is a big one or mononucleosis actually.  You can get it from kissing, or eating/drinking after each other and there are a lot of things that can happen to your body if left untreated including damage to some of your internal organs. You can also obtain Herpes, Aids and a number of STDs through oral sex, Tell your friend to grow up a little bit...See for yourself! www.webmd.com

I don't think it's real serious, my son had an enlarged spleen when he had mono. He had to take it easy- no contact sports etc. I think you have to figure out why it is enlarged.

Hi Oscar\n\nHere are some ideas on how to heal your condition.\n\nSymptoms\nSymptoms of mono occur four to seven weeks after exposure and include severe fatigue, headache, alternating chills and a high fever, sore throat, and enlarged lymph nodes, especially in the neck. Symptoms can vary and be confusing because the mono viruses can affect different organs such as the spleen, liver, eyelids, and sometimes the heart. Ten percent of people with mono also develop rashes and/or darkened bruises in the mouth. \n\nMono typically occurs between the ages of 14 -18, and only in people who have never before had antibodies to the viruses that cause it. \n\nNote: Mono`s symptoms are very similar to the flu, which must be ruled out. Almost all cases improve without drugs within four to six weeks. Though antibiotics are often prescribed for mono, in actuality they are of little use unless there is an associated bacterial infection. In addition, the antibiotic ampicillin will often make mono worse and should be avoided. Also avoid aspirin as it can create further complications in rare cases. \n\nProper treatment in the early stages of mono must emphasize appropriate bed rest. If there is enlargement of the spleen or liver, the rest may need to be prolonged and strenuous exercise must be avoided until these organs return to normal size. \n\nMany mono patients suffer from ongoing fatigue, depression, and varied symptoms for months to follow, but those on natural treatments seem to avoid this pitfall or recover from these recurrences more quickly. \n\nCaution: Check for Lyme Disease.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nNatural Cures\n\nDiet: Drink plenty of pure water and avoid excessive animal proteins. Also eat four to six smaller meals throughout the day and avoid overeating at each meal. For best results, eat as many raw foods as possible, especially sprouts, seeds, and nuts. Avoid processed foods, soft drinks, sugar, caffeine, white flour products, and fried foods. \n\nBefore retiring, take several bites of complex carbohydrate foods (crackers, potatoes, pasta, etc.) along with several bites of a non-animal protein (nut butter, yogurt, cheese, seeds, etc.) along with a large glass of pure water or warm herbal tea. \n\nHerbs: Combine the tinctures of myrrh, echinacea, wormwood, cleavers, and calendula in equal parts and take 1/2 teaspoon of this mixture four times a day. \n\nHomeopathy: Useful homeopathic remedies include Belladonna, Merc iod., and Phytolacca. \n\nHydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. We suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments. Please seek the advice of your alternative health care practitioner before undergoing these procedures to make sure they are appropriate for you. \nHyperthermia: Hyperthermia involves artificially creating fever in the body for the purpose of boosting immune function. Hyperthermia can be a highly effective method of eliminating toxins and heavy metals, as well as infectious bacteria and viruses that cannot survive in elevated body temperatures. We suggest several at-home hyperthermia treatments. Please seek the advice of your alternative health care practitioner before undergoing these sweat-inducing procedures to make sure they are appropriate for you.\n\n*Purified water is essential for any hydrotherapy or hyperthermia treatment. Remedies for Treating Chlorinated Bath Water offers clear instructions and recommendations.\n\nJuice Therapy: Combine the juices of carrot, beet, toma
