Mono is a contagious viral infection causing fatigue, sore throat, fever, and swollen lymph nodes. It’s diagnosed with blood tests and treated with rest, hydration, and medical guidance from licensed providers.
Mono, also known as infectious mononucleosis, is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. It primarily affects adolescents and young adults, spreading through saliva and close contact. Recognizing symptoms early helps in effective management.
Patients typically experience fatigue, sore throat, fever, swollen lymph nodes, headache, and muscle aches. Some may also develop a rash or enlarged spleen, which can cause abdominal discomfort. These symptoms can last several weeks.
Diagnosis involves blood tests that detect specific antibodies indicating infection. A physical exam assesses swollen lymph nodes and spleen size. Medical history and symptom duration also aid diagnosis.
Treatment is supportive, focusing on symptom relief. Rest, hydration, and over-the-counter pain relievers are recommended. Severe cases may require medical supervision to prevent complications such as spleen rupture.
Since mono spreads through saliva, avoiding sharing utensils, drinks, and close contact with infected individuals can reduce transmission risk. Good hygiene practices are essential.
