I have gotten mono twice so far in college. what can i do to prevent it, and how can i get rid of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Mono is caused by epstien barr virus. Typically you only get it once, but there are other viruses (CMV) that can give you very similar syptoms. Nothing you can do to get rid of it, but sufficient rest is probably your best preventative measure. Good luck.
