The Epstein-Barr virus that causes mononucleosis is silently reproduced in the body 30 to 50 days after the initial contact before symptoms appear. Acute symptoms of things last 1 to 4 weeks. Typical early symptoms include sore throat, swollen glands, fever and fatigue. Other signs of infection such as muscle pain, headache, respiratory discharge, nausea, anorexia and photosensitivity may also be present.
Studies by university students showed that about 20% of the students returned to study within a week after the sunset of mononucleosis. About 50% returned within two weeks.
In other studies, it has been shown that about 50% of all mononucleosis patients have symptoms of 2 months after infection. Approximately 30% report symptoms in 3 months. Approximately 10% will also develop symptoms after 10 months. During the 24 months after infection, a small number of people still show symptoms.
Most people suffer from mononucleosis, and about 6% of patients with mononucleosis are relapsed over several months or years after the first infection. Monaural chronic symptoms last from 6 months to the rest of the year. The main chronic symptoms are fatigue recurrence despite the presence of throat pain, swollen lymph, body pain and low grade fever.
If things last for months or years, it is imperative to exclude other conditions that may contribute to the low immune system. It is necessary to conduct a test to investigate bacterial infections such as mycoplasma, Lyme disease, Chlamydia pneumonia. Nutritional deficiencies such as anemia and autoimmune disease, adrenal insufficiency, hypothyroidism should also be checked.
How long a thing lasts depends on how well you treat your body. Recovery may be delayed if you eat in a hurry and eat poorly and not rest. However, if you have time to rest your body, drink plenty of pure water and support the immune system with the correct supplements and diet, you can see that mononucleosis is not prolonged.
Monaural symptoms occur lasting anywhere from a few days to a few years. Look at yourself, to give you the best chance of complete and complete recovery.
