Mono is one of those strange illnesses that mocks every other illness, so sometimes it isn't diagnosed right away. I remember that when I had it, some of the symptoms I had and heard of were fatigue (jet lag), fever, general feeling of unwellness, and lymph node swelling, which is probably the biggest indicator. The lymph nodes most affected are the ones in the neck (below jaws) and under the arms, I think.

Mono is usually transmitted though saliva and mucus--which is where the "kissing disease" nickname comes from. But the kissing or close contact that transmits the disease doesn't happen right before you get sick. The virus that causes mono has a long incubation period: 30 to 50 days from the time you're exposed to it to the time you get sick. In addition, the virus can be transmitted in other ways, such as sipping from the same straw or glass as an infected person--or even being close when the person coughs or sneezes. Also, some people can have the virus in their systems without ever having symptoms and you can still catch it from them. some systems are Sore throat , fever.Other symptoms include a tired achy feeling, appetite loss, white patches on the back of the throat, and tonsillitis.

Mono is truly an same as glandular fever (2 different names for an same ailment). it truly is virus which skill it truly is noticeably contagious. you do not only get it by skill of kissing (even notwithstanding that is what it truly is fashionable for). He would have stuck it from yet another friend or acquiantice like an older sibling or next door neighbour. it truly is gotten by skill of close contact so if someone with it breathes, coughs or sneezes on you, you'll get it. the picture of with the flu or a chilly with out ever having kissed them.

My daughter had a severely sore throat and was extremely fatigued. She still won't tell me who she was kissing.
