The Signs Of Mononucleosis

Muscle Aches And Weakness

Another common symptom of mononucleosis includes muscle aches and weakness. Patients can experience these symptoms because their white blood cells are working to fight against the infection. They can also be the result of being dehydrated, so it is important to drink enough fluids. Patients can take over-the-counter medicines to try alleviating these symptoms, but they will not go away completely until mononucleosis itself is treated and the body recovers. Muscle aches and weakness can affect different parts of the body, and can indicate illnesses besides mononucleosis, which is why patients need to make sure they convey all their symptoms to the doctor.
