Suggest Treatment For Infectious Mononucleosis In A Child

My daughter was diagnosed with mono about a week ago. She has had very swollen eyes and last night had itching in her hands and feet. She also got a stomach ache after eating this evening (a rather heavy meal) . Are these normal symptoms or should I be concerned?

Thank you for asking Healthcare majic.
My name is Dr Ehsan Ullah &
I have gone through your query.

you have mentioned about the status of your daughter being diagnosed of Infectious Mononucleosis a week back and mentioned some symptoms like

Very Swollen eyes
Hand and feet Itching
Stomach ache after eating

First of all these are not normal symptoms and you need to Visit Physician if these symptoms persist or aggravate...

and Second aspect is that this illness is managed not by a single speciality but it involves Consultants for different specialities as well as Diet and Activity management...

I will try to explain these in a simple way for your convenience

Consult Team work :

Such patients need consultation with Following speciality people for the following Purposes;

1).Neurologist :
for assessing Brain Involvement
2).Cardiologist : this is rarely needed in few patients where there is suspected inflammation of the heart muscles
3). Infectious disease specialist for Epstein Bar Virus (EBV) -Infectious Mononucleosis and its evaluation
4). Haematologist : for EBV 's Unusual symptoms related to patient's blood
5). Gastroenterologist : for inflammation of Gall bladder etc

your Gp or Physician will guide you regarding these consultation

Regarding Diet ... Normal diet is sufficient
while
Physician activty is refrained for about 3 weeks after acute infection and patient is advised to rest


Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
