Dr Morton's GP - Dr Natalie Atere-Roberts discusses glandular fever: types of symptoms; what these likely mean and possible treatments.
Glandular fever is an infection that is caused by the Epstein Barr virus, a kind of herpes. Glandular fever symptoms are typically a combination of high swinging fever, swollen glands in the neck, sore throat, tiredness, muscle aches and pain on turning and sensitive pain in the abdomen, as the liver can become inflamed in some cases. It is infectious and has been dubbed "the kissing disease" and it often occurs in teenagers! It can be hard to distinguish from bacterial tonsillitis so doctors often prescribe antibiotics, however these will not help your symptoms.
The treatment for glandular fever is to drink lots of water, to rest and to take ibuprofen and paracetamol.
Most people recover from glandular fever in two to three weeks, but it's common to feel tired for a few weeks afterwards.
