What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For Glandular Fever?
hi my girlfriend has what appears to be glandular fever
she had minor symptoms for 3 days and for the last two days her neck has become more and more swollen and she is having problems breathing, eating, drinking and when she does manage to get to sleep it is incredibly loud and painful for her. The dr we saw was very quick and gave her cilex syrup250mg/5ml this has now gone and the problems do seem to be getting worse. Her neck is very swollen at the glands. I have tried to give her crushed panadol called the chemists own and contains 500 mg paracetemol but she is having problems swallowing it. Is there anything more we can do

thanks for posting your query to health care magic .
As I understand your girl friend is suffering from some kind of infection but you are not confirm about the diagnosis. so first thing you need to do is investigated for
1.complete blood count .
2.monospot test .
it will suggest you for further plan of managment .
clinical symptoms goes in favour of mononulaclesis like illness ..
presently you need to do is give symptomaic treatment along with prophyctic antibiotic .
review me with report so that I can suggest you further pln of managment .
thanks .
