A member asked:
What to do if i have mono, is it ok to take hydrocodone for the pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mono pain medication: Generally no. If you are truly diagnosed with mononucleosis you should only take non-prescription strength pain relievers because stronger pain relievers can mask a rare but serious complication of mono which is a ruptured spleen. It can be felt as severe left upper abdomen pain.
