Can Mononucleosis Recovered Patients Ingest Alcohol?

Hi. I was diagnosed with Mono 5 weeks ago. I felt pretty sick for 1 week before I started to feel better again. For the last 3,5 weeks I havn't felt sick at all. My first liver exam came out with a result of 300 in one of the first days I was sick. My second liver exam was at 150 one week later. My next exam is in two weeks. If these come out normal, when can I start drinking alcohol again?

Hi I did review your concern.
I would advice you not to take alcohol as it is not good for health if taken in moderate to large amounts,
however if you still wish to take-
Since your liver enzymes were abnormal I would advice you to refrain from alcohol until your enzymes level drop below 50. Also start only with very little drinking and only continue doing social drinking as heavy drinking is not good for previously damaged liver or for your overall health.
I hope this helps.
wish you all the best .
thank you for choosing healthcaremagic.
