ok I got mono whatever. I know it affects your spleen and liver. I know I am not suppost to drink while i have it, but I have also heard that you aren’t suppost to drink 6 months after you have gotten over the symptoms.
Does any body know how long I am suppost to wait to get really drunk?
Epstein-Barr Virus causes mono… it is my understanding that viruses are not treatable by Antibiotics… only bacterial infections are treated like that. (In June 2004 I had a nasty ass virus for 10 days, and they told me they had to just let it run it’s course because it’s a virus and antibiotics won’t help)
Even after the symptoms are gone your spleen is still swollen for months. Any physical activity is a risk since your spleen can be easily ruptured. You also have to be careful because mono and pneumonia run hand in hand. (I had mono when I was 18. Not fun. I was off of school for 2.5 weeks)
I wouldn’t recommend drinking immediately after having mono either.
Im also going to say u dont get antibiotics for a viral infection. I had meningitis on my 21st bday (tell me that didnt suck!!!) and they didnt give me any antibiotics, just percoset’s for the pain and a shot in the ass of something that made me feel better instantly but no actual perscription.
They give you the ntibiotics to elp you fight potential infections because your body is so weak already from the Mono…
I had Mono in High school… it lasts for about 3 months.
