What are the best treatments for severe mono?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Supportive.: The best (and likely only) treatment for mono is supportive, especially rest. It is wise to avoid excess physical activite so as not to have splenic rupture. Sometimes glucocorticoids/prednisone may be needed for inflammation obstructing the airway, but steroids are usually not used.
