Question: Hi, does mono cause vomiting & diarrhea? My 17y/o son was diagnosed with Mono 2 days ago & haven't been able to keep anything down...even liquids.
Brief Answer:
Need treatment for gastroenteritis
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Vomiting and diarrhoea is not likely due to infectious mononucleosis ( Mono). It is gastrointestinal infection and needs proper management as follows:
- Give antiemetic along with gastritis treatment such as Tab. Panto D for relief from vomiting
- Loperamide and ORS will help in diarrhea.
- probiotics like Enterogermina and zinc supplement such as Zinconia will help in early recovery.
Continue with symptomatic management for mononucleosis.
Hopefully it will be of help.
Take care
