Hi. My roommate was diagnosed with mono three weeks ago. She has has fever, fatigue, night sweats, nausea, vomiting and now orange urine for the past few days. Will this self resolve or do you think she needs IV fluids? I dont think the doctor checked her blood, I think it was that fast test.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Infectious mononucleosis is also called as \"kissing disease\" and glandular fever which is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (ABV). Infectious mononucleosis is a contagious illness and the infection can be spread by saliva and the incubation period is four to eight weeks. This can be diagnosed by blood tests. People who have this disease continue to shed virus particles in their saliva throughout their lifetime. This can be best treated with antibiotics like penicillin or erythromycin and NSAIDs can be given for fever, headache and body ache. Thank you.
