Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As you are diagnosed to have Mono infection, which is caused byEpstein-Barr virus (EBV) is very common and usually occurs in childhood and early adulthood. EBV is a contagious infection that spreads from person to person.

EBV is the cause of infectious mononucleosis and the symptoms are fever, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, and enlarged spleen. The symptoms like nausea, vomiting and diarrhea are very much rare with EBV infection.Because of reduced immunity you may all these weird symptoms.

Individuals with EBV infections requires
1.Adequate rest
2.Plenty of Fluids
3.Corticosteroids to treat significant swelling in the throat
4.There is no specific medicine to treat EBV infections.
Thank you.
