4. Treatment For Mononucleosis
Mono is caused by a virus known as the Epstein-Barr virus. As such, antibiotics will not be effective in treating the condition. In most cases, the patient is simply asked to take it easy and take in plenty of fluids until the infection passes. The disease does pass without complications in the vast majority of cases.
In the meantime, medication like paracetamol and throat lozenges can be used to help soothe the patient’s symptoms. If the symptoms do appear to be worsening, however, then it is wise to seek medical assistance. It may be necessary to treat the patient for complications they are suffering from.
