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) ---

You aren’t given antibiotics for mono. 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. ---

(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) 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. Hope you feel better! ---

The only drinking i would be doing if i had mono would be tons of water. ---
