Overview - Infectious mononucleosis

Top

Mononucleosis or infectious mononucleosis is a set of symptoms commonly caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). It usually presents in teenagers but it can happen at any age. The virus is contagious and spreads through saliva, due to which it has earned the name “the kissing disease.” It however, not only spreads through direct contact with saliva from the mouth of an infected person but also through organ transplantation and from other bodily fluids, like blood and genital secretions of patients during sexual contact.

EBV infects children after their first year of birth. In small children, symptoms are generally mild and so, are not diagnosed as mononucleosis.

Once anyone gets an EBV infection, it is likely that they will be immune to mononucleosis for the rest of their life.

However, many people do not get infected in their childhood. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that mononucleosis affects 25 percent of EBV infected adolescents or young adults, primarily high school and college students.

Symptoms

Top

The symptoms of mononucleosis are initial high fever, swelling of the lymph glands in the neck and armpits and a sore throat. A majority of the cases of mononucleosis are mild and get healed easily with minimal treatment. The infection is usually not serious and disappears on its own in 1 or 2 months.

Other symptoms may include:

Headaches
Tiring easily
Muscle weakness
Flat pink or purple rashes on the skin or in the mouth
Swelling of the tonsils
Night sweats

The liver or spleen may also swell up sometimes but mononucleosis is not fatal most of the time.

It is difficult to differentiate between mononucleosis and other common viruses like the flu. If the symptoms do not reduce with 1 or 2 weeks of home treatment like resting, drinking enough fluids and eating healthy foods, consult a doctor.

The homeopathic approach and treatment:-

Homeopathy can not only heal the symptoms (see those above) but also the root cause of the mononucleosis and even prevent recurrences by improving the immunity. Homeopathy is highly recommended for mononucleosis.
