Not normal: The febrile phase of momo is only about 1-2 weeks.  If you have fever for this long there must be something else going on.  Should get reevaluated.

Mono symptoms: Unfortunately it can go for many months. You should rest, hydrate and eat well, take OTC meds for the symptom relief. Avoid trauma to the spleen. Keep in touch with your doctor.

: Yes:  mono can last several weeks. Probably that's the only thing wrong. Keep following the advice of the clinic or doctor who made the diagnosis. Good luck.

Question 6

difference between strep throat and mononucleosis?my simptoms:swollen and enlarged tonsils with white pockets,enlarged lymph nodes,no fever or fatigue

Accepted Answer

Similar: Strep throat and mono are often quite similar at the beginning. Strep has a tendency to diminish in intensity after several days while mono increases. They can occur together, which is a problem. The only true way to know is testing.

Question 7

what is the treatment for glandular fever?

Accepted Answer

No clear treatment.: Apparently, glandular fever is a viral infection caused by the epstein-barr virus.  It can be transmitted by oral contact, like kissing, and airborne saliva droplets.  At this time, there is no specific treatment.  Paracetamol/tylenol and nsaids (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) can be used to help the flu like symptoms.  Otherwise it resolves over 2-4 weeks without issues.

Question 8

help please! is antibiotic used to help with glandular fever?

Accepted Answer

No: Glandular fever is the lay term for mononucleosis which is a viral infection. Antibiotics are not used unless there is a co-existing  bacterial infection. In many cases a patient with mono who is put on amoxicillin or ampicillin will break out in a typical whole body rash as an expected side effect.

Question 9

what is the difference between tonsillitis and glandular fever?

Accepted Answer

Description/diagnoss: Tonsillitis is just a lay term for the tonsils being infected or inflamed. Glandular fever is a lay term usually linked to EB Virus mononucleosis, a specific condition where the tonsils are often inflamed.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Insufficient info: How do you know that you have glandular fever? What tests were done? If you have persistent fever or enlarged lymph glands please consult a doctor for an in-person evaluation.
