Patient's question:
Last week, while sleeping, the child kept coughing, but there was no runny nose. So, I gave the child a little anti-inflammatory medicine, but after taking it, the child still coughed. Also, at night, the child couldn't sleep and kept crying. Later, there was a fever, and the doctor said it was infectious mononucleosis, which would be fine with some medicine. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, infectious mononucleosis is mainly caused by viral infection. — For children, the most serious complications are viral nephritis, viral myocarditis, and interstitial pneumonia. These are relatively common; — For EB virus infection, there is currently no ideal antiviral drug. Pediatrics often uses "immunoglobulin" to boost immunity, thereby eliminating the virus through immune mechanisms.
