What Is Mononucleosis?
10. Treatment
There is no known cure for mononucleosis. However, the patient’s immune system will be enough to overcome the disease in the vast majority off cases. People with the disease will usually be asked to rest up and make sure that they drink plenty of fluids. The patient may be given medication that will help to treat their symptoms.
It is not uncommon for patients to have secondary infections such as strep throat. In which case, the patient will be given antibiotics to help fight off the bacteria. While treating mono is usually fairly straightforward, the patient should seek further medical advice if the symptoms are not clearing up and/or if they are worsening.
