I am 13 years old and I think I have mono (kissing disease) can I die from it? What are the treatments?

Q: I ACCIDENTLY drank out of my friend’s water bottle and she has mono and I think I have it so what should I do?

A: No, mono (mononucleosis), while contagious, will not kill you. What it will do, however, is make you feel tired and achy for a while. Some symptoms may include: Fever, sore throat, headaches, and sore muscles. Usually, with mono, all you really need is plenty of rest. If necessary, you may want to take a pain reliever if your muscles are sore, or if you have a fever. Also, mono usually goes away by itself in a few weeks, so it’s not much to stress over. Still, get plenty of rest, and make sure you wash your hands after you cough or sneeze. For additional information, check out this website: http://kidshealth.org/kid/talk/qa/mono.html

How long do you have to wait before kissing someone who has mono?

Q: My boyfriend recently found out he has mono; we assume he’s had it for about 2 1/2 weeks. We haven’t kissed since we found out because mono is passed through saliva – but I’m wondering how long we will have to wait before we can kiss again. Mono can last anywhere between a month to a year.

A: If hes been sick for about two weeks then hes actually had the virus for a month or two. So if you’ve kissed him then just go ahead and kiss him. Either you’ll get mono or you might have already had it and have immunity. You’re either already screwed or not.

Should someone who has Mono (“kissing” disease) be around a pregnant woman?

Q: A really good friend of mine has mono and I was wondering if I should keep my distance (I’m 38 weeks pregnant) from her until she gets better. Also, should she keep her distance from my baby, if say, the baby was born within the next couple days? (Like should she come to visit me in the hospital?) I’m just wondering and I want to be careful so I don’t get sick in late pregnancy and so my baby doesn’t get sick. Thanks in advance.

A: I think you and your unborn baby need to stay away from her until she is well over the infection. You shouldn’t take any chances being around her when she is sick. If you get it, your baby may get it too because you are taking care of your baby. Keep your distance for about a week after she stops showing symptoms so that you know she is over it.
