Condition: Mononucleosis

Mononucleosis, or mono, is a viral infection that causes fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph glands, most often in the neck. Mono is contagious, which means it can spread from person to person and is often spread by saliva and close contact. It is known as "the kissing disease." It occurs most often in people ages 15 to 17, but the infection may develop at any age.

Symptoms

Mono may begin slowly with fatigue, a general ill feeling, headache, and sore throat. The sore throat slowly gets worse. Your tonsils become swollen and develop a whitish-yellow covering. Often, the lymph nodes in the neck are swollen and painful. A pink, measles-like rash can occur.

 

 

Root Causes

Mono is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Rarely, it is caused by other viruses, such as cytomegalovirus (CMV).

 Home Remedies
  • Drink plenty of water and fruit juices to help relieve fever and sore throat and prevent dehydration.
  • Gargle with salt water. Do this several times a day to relieve a sore throat. Mix 1/4 teaspoon (1.5 grams) of salt in 8 ounces (237 milliliters) of warm water.

 Acupuncture

Acupuncture could play a role in reducing pain associated with major to minor symptoms of Mononucleosis. The safe administering of acupuncture using specific points could be highly useful in battling fever and fatigue. These are some points used to address fever and fatigue along with their Chinese as well as English name, body location and targeted symptom(s):

  • Bladder (BL)12 (Fengmen/Wind Gate)- located below the second thoracic vertebrae this point relieves fever, cough, neck stiffness and headache.
  • BL 13 (Feishu/Lung Shu) – below the third thoracic vertebrae this point addresses lung issues associated with fever. It regulates lung qi, opens the chest and clears heat.
  • Large Intestine (LI) 4 – (Hegu/Joining Valley) – sometimes called ‘The Great Eliminator’ LI4 is a highly usable point inasmuch that it is capable of being applied to many ailments. It expels damaging Wind-Heat, strengthens the immune system and stops pain. LI4 is part of the Yuan-Source points, paramount in treating diseases of internal organs such as the spleen and liver.
