Hi I was diagnosed with glandular fever 1 1/2 weeks ago. I was advised not to kiss or have initimate relations for 3 weeks by ENT dept. Would this have been 3 weeks from diagnosis or onset? My symptoms started 4 weeks ago and all have been resolved apart from variable fatigue.
become to ChatDoctorI can understand your concern. Glandular fever is a viral fever, it will reduce on its own. Antibiotic doesn't act on viruses. You should wait until your body develop immunity against it. Yes you are advised for not kissing, as the virus is present in body fluid like saliva. Usually it takes 3 to 4 weeks to reduce. Tips to reduce your fatigue1. If you are having fever take Tab PARACETAMOL 50\u00a0mg sos2.take plenty of fluid stake proper rest thank you take care
