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

Could I get mono from kissing a guy with a cold or did i just catch his cold?

Q: Theres this guy and i kissed him, but just a little peck. i was sick for like a week then i got the flu. it was yucky did i just catch it from him he had the flu before that too.

A: Hmm, Well that sucks =( But it kinda sounds like you got it from him.. But it depends how long before you kissed him that he had the flu.. if it was a few days, then most likely it was, because the flu is a respiratory infection, so it could pass through saliva. But sometimes, who’s to say really, unfortunately.. in your question and then detailed part it says three different things, mono, cold, flu lol, But all three of those can pass by kissing, cause mono is known as the kissing disease =P So yeah, thats just my opinion, I hope you’re doing better!

If my girlfriend doesnt have mono can i still get it from kissing her?

Q: I want to kiss my new girlfriend but i dont want mono. If she doesnt have mono can i still get it from kissing her?

A: if she doesnt have mono you cant get it. if she HAD mono, thats a different story. it is possible to transfer mono up to several months after diagnosis. however, the chances get less and less as the months go on. but i would like to tell you to go for it. its totally worth it. mono is the best disease ive ever gotten. you get to stay home from school/work, you get to sleep all day and no one says anything, nobody wants to steal your food or drink, you have to ‘take it easy’. after you get over the swelled tonsils and lymph nodes (which went away very quickly for me bcuz the doc gave me some very good medicine) its awesome! AAAND once you get it, you never get it again!
