Mononucleosis Medicine: What Are the Options?

Viruses are never any fun. They are easy to catch and the most important thing to remember is that if you ever get a virus of any sort, whether it is mono or any other, that you do not go anywhere near your kids or wear a mask when you do.

If you have mono, then the first thing that your doctor is going to tell you is that you are going to need to get a lot of bed rest and fluids, but also they are going to say, at least in most cases, that medication is going to be necessary. The medication is what is going to help to ease your symptoms, including headache, fever and rash, and what is going to allow your body to relax so that you can get some sleep and get better.

It also works as an antibiotic, to get rid of the virus but you are going to need to make sure that you are taking the right mononucleosis medicine, and you are going to need to work as a team with your doctor in order to figure out which mononucleosis medicine is going to be best for you. Remember that everyone is different and so don’t think that just because one type of mononucleosis medicine may have worked well in one case, that this means anything at all to you.

Types of Medicine

There are quite a few different types of mononucleosis medicine that your doctor may choose to offer you. One mononucleosis medicine that they may consider is antibiotics. Any type of medicine that they decide on, if it is a type of antibiotic, it is going to help you by fighting off the virus and helping you to get back to your healthy, normal self.

There are other options for medicines for mononucleosis as well. For the usual course and treatment of mono, acetaminophen is actually often enough, and this is just your regular run of the mill Tylenol.

It really all depends on the particular case and on how long the person has been suffering with it, as to which treatment is going to be considered as the most appropriate. Often it will take a bit of trial and error with mononucleosis medicine in order for the doctor to be able to find one that is effective enough, especially if you have been dealing with your symptoms for quite some time now and the mono is resistant to some forms of medication.
