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!

Mono is a virus that is passed on from person to person.  It should be taken seriously, as if left untreated can lead to heart problems later.  I had mono when i was 17, and you cannot get it again.  Your body develops the appropriate antibodies and becomes resistant.  dont eat off others plates or drink from their glass, and be sure to wash your hands often!!

How old is your son? (Could be "mono" if he's a teenager). Did they do any throat/NP cultures? Any respiratory symptoms? What was the differential cell count? This time of year (depending on where you live) respiratory viruses get started. If it is a virus, antibiotics won't help. If it's something like strep throat or "walking pneumonia" then antibiotics will kick it pretty quickly. Could also be a secondary bacterial infection following a viral infection. Just make sure he takes the whole course of the antibiotics - failure to do so is one of the leading causes of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Good luck!!

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.

no\nInfectious mononucleosis\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n(Redirected from Mononucleosis)\nJump to: navigation, search\nInfectious mononucleosis ICD-10 B27 \nICD-9 075 \nInfectious mononucleosis (also known in North America as mono, the kissing disease or Pfeiffer's disease, and more commonly known as glandular fever in other English-speaking countries) is a disease seen most commonly in adolescents and young adults, characterized by fever, sore throat and fatigue. It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) or the cytomegalovirus (CMV). It is typically transmitted from asymptomatic individuals through saliva or blood, or by sharing a drinking glass, eating utensils, or needles. The disease is far less contagious than is commonly thought. Since the causative virus is also found in the mucus of the infected person, it can also spread through coughing or sneezing.\n\nIt is estimated that 90% to 95% of adults in the world have EBV-antibodies, having been infected with the Epstein-Barr virus at some point in their lives. The vast majority of infections do not result in the development of mononucleosis. The virus infects B cells (B-lymphocytes), producing a reactive lymphocytosis and the atypical T cells (T-lymphocytes). Early childhood infections often cause no symptoms. In developed countries with less crowded conditions and better hygiene, children do not commonly become infected until adolescence. Since they also typically begin dating at that age, the co-occurrence of mono and kissing have led to its being called the "kissing disease," although this is but one of its modes of transmission.\n\nThe disease is so-named because the count of mononuclear leukocytes (white blood cells with a one-lobed nucleus) rises significantly. There are two main types of mononuclear leukocytes: monocytes and lymphocytes. They normally account for about 35% of all white blood cells. With Mono, it can become 50-70% Also, the total white blood count increases 10000-20000 per cubic millimeter.\n\nContents [hide]\n1 Epidemiology \n2 Clinical presentation \n3 Atypical presentations of mononucleosis/EBV infection \n4 Laboratory tests \n5 Treatment \n6 Mortality/morbidity \n6.1 Interactions with common drugs \n7 External links \n \n\n\n[edit]\nEpidemiology\nThe incidence of clinically recognizable infectious mononucleosis caused by EBV is estimated at 45 per 100 000 in the US. In developing countries, an estimated 90% of children undergo an asymptomatic EBV-infection, and thus are not susceptible to infectious mononucleosis of EBV.\n\n[edit]\nClinical presentation\nA person can be infected with the virus for weeks or months before any symptoms appear. Symptoms usually appear 4-7 weeks after infection, and may resemble strep throat or other bacterial or viral respiratory infections. These first signs of the disease are commonly confused with cold and flu symptoms. The typical symptoms and signs of mononucleosis are:\n\nFever - this varies from mild to severe, but is seen in nearly all cases. \nEnlarged and tender lymph nodes - particularly the posterior cervical lymph nodes, on both sides of the neck. \nSore throat - seen in nearly all patients with EBV-mononucleosis \nFatigue (sometimes extreme fatigue) \nSome patients also display:\n\nEnlarged spleen (splenomegaly, which may lead to rupture) or liver (hepatomegaly) \nAbdominal pain \nAching muscles \nHeadache \nLoss of appetite \nJaundice \nDepression \nWeakness \nSkin rash \nAfter an initial prodrome of 1-2 weeks, the fatigue of mono often lasts from 1-2 months. The virus can remain dormant in the B cells indefinitely after symptoms have disappeared, and resurface at a later date. Many people exposed to the Epstein-Barr virus do not show symptoms of the disease, but carry the virus and can transmit it to others. This is especially true in children, in whom infection seldom causes more than a very mild illness which often goes undiagnosed. This feature, along with mono's lo

Good question!  If you are over 30 you do not have Mono.  It is a disease which only affects people in their teens and 20's.  If you are under 30 and you are fatigued, really run down you may have mono.  Do you have swollen glands in the back of your neck?  They go with mono.  The mono test is not fully accurate until you have had symptoms for about 3 weeks.  If it goes on for another week, get the test!  If you are positive, try to figure out where you got it!  Remember you don't show any symptoms until one month after you contact someone with mono.  Also remember if  you have mono you can give it to someone else for the next 3 to 6 months... even if you are feeling better.  I hope your test is normal and you feel better soon but I hope you found the information helpful!

Clinical presentation\n\nA person can be infected with the virus for weeks or months before any symptoms appear. Symptoms usually appear 4-7 weeks after infection, and may resemble strep throat or other bacterial or viral respiratory infections. These first signs of the disease are commonly confused with cold and flu symptoms. The typical symptoms and signs of mononucleosis are:\n\n    * Fever - this varies from mild to severe, but is seen in nearly all cases.\n    * Enlarged and tender lymph nodes - particularly the posterior cervical lymph nodes, on both sides of the neck.\n    * Sore throat - seen in nearly all patients with EBV-mononucleosis\n    * Fatigue (sometimes extreme fatigue)\n\nSome patients also display:\n\n    * Enlarged spleen (splenomegaly, which may lead to rupture) or liver (hepatomegaly)\n    * Abdominal pain\n    * Aching muscles\n    * Headache\n    * Loss of appetite\n    * Jaundice\n    * Depression\n    * Weakness\n    * Skin rash\n    * Dizziness or Disorientation\n    * Supra-Orbital Oedema (the eyes become puffy and swollen) may occur in the early stages of infection\n\nAfter an initial prodrome of 1-2 weeks, the fatigue of infectious mononucleosis often lasts from 1-2 months. The virus can remain dormant in the B cells indefinitely after symptoms have disappeared, and resurface at a later date. Many people exposed to the Epstein-Barr virus do not show symptoms of the disease, but carry the virus and can transmit it to others. This is especially true in children, in whom infection seldom causes more than a very mild illness which often goes undiagnosed. This feature, along with mono's long (4 to 6 week) incubation period, makes epidemiological control of the disease impractical. About 6% of people who have had infectious mononucleosis will relapse.

http://www.doctoryourself.com/mono.html\n\nYoud be surprized how fast 1000mg vitamin C every hour gets rid of a sore throat. (in hours) It shortens the span of any illness when done right. Check it out.\n\nhttp://www.doctoryourself.com/titration.html\n\nGargle with salt water for the sore throat. The organisms causing the sore throat cannot live in an acidic environment. This is why the salt helps. Do this every couple hours or so until relief is acheived. Dont drink or eat afterwards so that the acidity can be maintained.

I had mono in February. It's called the "kissing disease" because it first broke it in Colleges because, as we all know, that's mostly what people do in College: make out and fool around. It's communicable through saliva. So you can get it by kissing, or by eating off of or drinking from the glass of a person who has it.\nI didn't get a bad name from it. But a couple eyebrows were raised, and joking and teasing started. But most people are more informed about it and know that kissing isn't the ONLY way you can get it.\nHaha! You aren't going to die. You'll just be extremely weak and tired for a while, until you get well. \nEmail me if you have questions.:)\n\nCourtney

If unshakeable fatigue, fever, and a relentless sore throat have you living from nap to nap, there’s a chance you have infectious mononucleosis. But don’t let the mere mention of mono bring to mind horrors such as months of bed rest, banishment from all sports, quarantine from roommates and friends, or dropping out for the semester!\n\nSome Facts About Mono:\n• Most people who get mono are up and around within two weeks, often sooner.\n• There’s no need to quarantine someone with mono. People with mono rarely give the disease to roommates or friends with whom they have only casual contact.\n• While strenuous exercise and contact sports my be discouraged for one to two months after you get mono, other activities can be resumed earlier.\n\nWhat Is Infectious Mononucleosis\nInfectious mononucleosis (commonly called mono) is an illness that can be caused by several agents. The Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) causes more than 95 percent of cases among adolescents and adults. EBV is usually in the body 30-50 days before an infected person develops symptoms. Early symptoms can include feeling rundown, loss of appetite, and slight headaches. After three to five days, acute symptoms usually become apparent. These may include sore throat, fatigue, swollen glands, fever, muscle aches, and sometimes a skin rash. The spleen is often enlarged and some liver enzyme changes occur. Not all of these symptoms are present in every case, however.\n\nHow Do I Know If I Have Mono?\nIf your symptoms resemble the ones described here, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have mono. But you should visit a health professional who will evaluate your symptoms and possibly test your blood for mono antibodies. It is often necessary to wait until you’ve been sick for five to seven days before mono tests can be run, because it can take at least that long for mono antibodies in the blood to reach detectable levels.\n\nPreliminary screening tests for mono can give results within a day or two. If you test negative for mono but your symptoms continue to suggest that you have the infection, your health professional may repeat the test. Even with the most accurate tests, about 15 percent of adolescents and adults who have mono will test negative at first. This can happen when a person fails to produce antibodies for mono. Other, more specific blood tests may be given in these cases.\n\nHow Did I Get Mono?\nInfectious mononucleosis is spread through saliva, hence its nickname—the “kissing disease.” Even though this means the disease is almost always spread through intimate contact, don’t be surprised if you can’t figure out who gave you the infection. People with mono can only recall contact with another infected person in about six percent of cases, according to recent studies.\n\nIt can be hard to tell who passed the infection to you because only about a third of the people who become infected with EBV develop classic mono. An infected person who never gets ill can unknowingly give the virus to others. Also, people who have had mono can still have the virus in their saliva long after the illness is over. Typically, the virus is present in the saliva for about 30-45 days, but in some people it can appear on and off in the saliva for up to 18 months. A majority of cases probably are contracted through intimate contact between a susceptible person (someone who can catch mono because they have never formed antibodies to EBV), and a healthy person who has EBV in their saliva. In most cases, people who have been infected with EBV are immune from ever getting the virus again.\n\nHow is Mono Treated?\nAntibiotics are not useful in treating viral diseases like mono. While there’s no shot or pill to cure mono, your body should be able to successfully fight the infection if you take proper care of yourself while sick. \n\nTreatment usually includes adequate rest and a pain reliever such as acetaminophen (the active ingredient in Tylenol) for your fever, sore t

Once you have been infected with EBV, your body may periodically shed (or give off) the virus throughout your lifetime, possibly spreading the virus to others. This can occur despite the fact that you do not have symptoms after your initial mono infection; the virus may still be found in your saliva up to 18 months after you have recovered from your symptoms.
