Mononucleosis can be caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) which is a relative of the herpes family in diseases. People catch mono by frequently spreading saliva which is why it’s also known as the “kissing disease.” Mononucleosis mainly affects people of the ages 15 and 24 and they are most likely to get it because people in those ages are constantly exchanging their saliva. But luckily it is not as severe in young children.
Sadly there is no real treatment for mononucleosis. The patient just needs to make sure they get plenty of sleep and gargle saltwater or take lozenges to help with their sore throat. People are prescribed analgesics to help relieve any pain and antipyretics to help reduce any fever. You really can’t fully prevent mono
