Glandular Fever
Glandular fever, also known as infectious mononucleosis, is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Common symptoms include fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes. Typically affecting teenagers and young adults, glandular fever spreads through saliva and requires rest for recovery. No specific treatment exists, but symptoms are managed with supportive care.
