Mononucleosis is quite contagious, and as mentioned above, very easily caught. So if you know someone who has it, make sure you take extra care as it can be contagious for up to eight weeks!

Chronic mononucleosis symptoms typically include fatigue, weakness, sore throat and swollen lymph glands. These symptoms can fluctuate from day to day, and week to week. Periods of feeling well are often followed by a relapse, as people try to resume normal activities or exercise.

Herbal remedies for mononucleosis in the chronic stage can also be very effective. Astragalus is an all time favorite for treating chronic immune conditions like recurrent mono. It should however not be used when there is a fever, an auto immune condition or when immune suppressant drugs are being used.

Supplements like vitamin C, the B complex and magnesium, can help repair the adrenal glands and assist in mononucleosis treatment. The omega 3 fatty acids from deep sea fish oils or flaxseed oil can help with fatigue. If you are anemic then taking some iron is important.

Celebrate the achievements and victories in your life. During mononucleosis treatment it may only be little things like enjoying a 10 minute stroll, finishing a good book or cooking up a new healthy meal that you can celebrate - that's a good start! Acknowledging your progress will help keep a positive attitude that helps you cope with stress and keeps your adrenals strong.

Because of the limitations of the mono spot test, further antibody tests may be ordered by your doctor to confirm a mononucleosis diagnosis. These tests are particularly useful in pregnant women or immune compromised patients in whom mono can cause serious complications.

A person is suspected of mononucleosis when symptoms like fatigue, sore throat, fever, and swollen glands emerge. Some symptoms like liver enlargement, nausea, swollen spleen, diarrhea, headache, body aches, and respiratory symptoms may also arise and be indicative of this condition. Mononucleosis is otherwise known as Epstein Barr or glandular fever.

So while you have contracted a disease that has to run its course you now have a mono remedy to try to see what works for you. Some remedies just do not work for some people so you may have to go through some trial and error before you find your answer.

Homeopathics can be an excellent infectious mononucleosis cure for kids. They are virtually tasteless and can be administered under the tongue as drops or taken as pillules. Examples of homeopathics for mono are Belladonna for sore throat and fever, Ferrum phosphorica and Kali muriaticum for cough, sweating and swollen tonsils.

Signs and symptoms :

1- Compromised breathing due to swollen airways or throat
2- Difficulty in swallowing saliva / drooling
3- Inability to drink
4- A severe sore throat
5- Pus or discharge on the tonsils

Diet And Nutrition Eat foods rich in antioxidant nutrients (vitamins C, E, beta carotene, B-complex, and minerals copper, iron, zinc, and selenium). Garlic and ginger can be helpful. Sufferers from mononucleosis appear to have lower than normal levels of essential fatty acids (EFAs). A qualified nutritionist might recommend a combination of evening primrose oil and fish oils to help raise these levels and to alleviate the symptoms of fatigue and malaise.
