Mononucleosis Treatments

Mononucleosis Treatments

Mononucleosis treatments primarily focus on symptom relief, as antibiotics are ineffective against this viral infection. Common mononucleosis treatments include rest, hydration, and over-the-counter pain and fever reducers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. In severe cases, corticosteroids may be prescribed to reduce throat and tonsil swelling. Avoid strenuous activities to prevent spleen injury.
