not much you can do. Eat healthy to feed your body. OJ and proten so your body can repair the damage quickly and take 100% of the anitbiotics they put you on to make sure the virus is killed completely.Im now E30less.

no they havent given me any antibiotics for the mono, as its a viral infection and no antibiotics will do any good...the predisone is a steroid to reduce the pain in my throat and its helping to increase my apetite a bunch tooComment

Oh, well then just do whatever they tell you too... :?Im now E30less.

yea im going tomarrow to see about getting the tonsils removed. they already swelled up really bad, but the predisone fixed that and feel physically fine right now, if not a little fatiguedComment

Mono is either really slight, or a pain in the ass. I had it like for a few months when i was 5, then i had it REAL bad (read: Hospitalized) when i was 13. The second time i got it, thought it would be just some tiredness like the first time. Damn, did it throw me a knuckleball.

I had it right as fall semester ended, its not fun, but after the first week goes by, its not too bad, you just get tired from walking downstairs. I remember my throat swelling up to where I couldnt swallow, they put me on some sort of steroids, and after that, it was all gravy.

get lots of sleep. the more you sleep the more it goes away, you can also get it from to much stress and not enough sleep. its not only transmitted from other people, for those of you who think it is.

Dude, if you have mono, watch out for your spleen. Protect it.
One of my friends got Mono, and his spleen swelled up because that is what happens, and somehow like bursted it or injured it.....and now he has no spleen. :shock:Comment
