What Is Mono?
10. Treatment
Our immune systems will usually be able to handle mono alone, so treatment is not usually deemed necessary. The patient is usually asked to simply rest up and take on board plenty of fluids. Medication may be prescribed to help lessen the discomfort caused by the patient’s symptoms, however.
Some patients with mono will also go on to develop other infections like strep throat. Strep throat is a bacterial infection so it can be treated with antibiotics where necessary. If the patient does show signs of serious complications of the disease then they should be found medical assistance as soon as possible.
