There are so many diseases out there. Many people are already concerned that because of their constant interactions with so many people they are at risk for many types of communicable and infectious diseases. Many of these diseases can be acquired simply by shaking hands with another person, talking, etc. There is only so much you can do to stay healthy. One way to do this is to boost the performance of the immune system by taking vitamins and supplements designed to keep the system in excellent shape. Another way to fight disease is to keep your hands especially clean. In this way you will avoid contracting diseases and also transmitting them to other people.
The reason this is being discussed is because of the type of disease that will be discussed in depth in this article, Mononucleosis. Mononucleosis is an infectious disease that adolescents and young adults can commonly contract. It is caused by a virus known as the Epstein-Barr virus which is very malignant. It is very “fidgety” so it can easily jump from one host to another. In fact, the Epstein-Barr virus in mononucleosis can be fatal to people under the age of 15 and people over the age of 25 at the time of infection.
Mononucleosis is also what is called glandular fever and infectious mononucleosis. It can be contracted through intense kisses, through saliva when using the glass, cutlery, towels, etc. from other persons. Sometimes the virus just stays in your throat and remains inactive for a period of time. During the relapse, it will be activated and the symptoms will begin to manifest themselves.
Symptoms
In order to help you recognize mononucleosis early on, these are some of the most common and rare symptoms of mononucleosis.
Common:
Puffy tassels in the groin, armpits, and neck
Extreme feeling of fatigue
Low to high fever
Sore throat similar to tonsillitis.
Other symptoms (sometimes rare for others)
Enlarged tonsils
Headache
Muscle bread
Acne
No appetite
Abdominal and stomach breads
And when checked by doctors, enlarged liver and spleen
Treatment
As already mentioned, mononucleosis is a disease caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. That is why it cannot be treated with antibiotics. There is also another conventional way to treat mononucleosis, but what they do is simply relieve the symptoms of mononucleosis, such as aches and pains, but not the disease itself.
Now there are books dealing with the natural ways, means and methods of fighting mononucleosis. Getting enough rest and sleep is also very important when treating mononucleosis. Supplements, vitamins, and pure water therapy are also very helpful with this type of infection. There are also homeopathy treatments that have been shown to be very effective in treating mononucleosis.
Relapse
Unfortunately, there are people who can have mononucleosis several times during their life. That is why these patients can also suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome. Experts say that stress causes a monkey relapse and we all know that stress has become a part of our lives in this day and age. The last thing you can do is strengthen your immune system so that you can better protect your body from the Epstein-Barr virus attack. Once you’ve been diagnosed with mononucleosis, you need to be very conscious and careful about your health. Regular exercise, a proper and balanced diet are your main source of protection against any infectious disease.
Ultimately, mononucleosis can be prevented by making sure you are living and practicing a healthy lifestyle. Remember that mononucleosis cannot be treated with conventional antibiotics because it is caused by a virus and not by bacteria. When you are already experiencing some of the symptoms mentioned above, see your doctor immediately for a proper diagnosis. If you can’t stop it from entering your system, it’s best to prevent it from getting worse.
