What Does Mononucleosis Treatment Involve?  

​

Mononucleosis (often referred to as “mono”) is a viral infection that’s primarily caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. The majority of Americans have this virus, but only some develop mononucleosis and experience its symptoms, which can include extreme fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, fever, headaches, and sore throat.

​

As a viral infection, mononucleosis can’t necessarily be “cured” or reversed with a pill. Instead, mononucleosis treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and helping the patient’s immune system fight the infection more effectively. Some common treatment approaches for mononucleosis include:

​

• Getting plenty of sleep and resting throughout the day

• Staying hydrated

• Medications to ease headaches, sore throat, muscle aches, and fever

• Temporarily avoiding high-impact activities, such as playing sports and working out

​

It can take several weeks or months to fully recover from mononucleosis. As a patient at Lifeline Urgent Care, you can be assured that you’ll always have somewhere to turn for treatment, expert advice, and support.
