What Is Glandular Fever?
7. Warning Signs
Glandular fever is usually a fairly mild disease and will usually pass without any serious issues arising. It can, however, be serious to a small number of people and it is a good idea to be aware of the signs that it is becoming serious. One of these is that the patient does not recover if a couple of weeks have passed.
Glandular fever can also lead to an increased risk of an enlarged spleen, which can itself cause problems for the patient. Signs that this has happened include jaundice, and a sudden pain in the left side of the abdomen. An enlarged spleen can also lead to breathing difficulties.
