Mononucleosis
If you didn’t know, mononucleosis is commonly known as “the kissing disease”, and it’s caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which thrives in fluids (such as saliva) and is easy to spread from an infected person during a kiss.
It usually affects young adults and it’s extremely contagious. Infections and other related symptoms might last from one to two months. The symptoms are also very similar to the ones of the flu, including fever, sore throat, fatigue, muscle weakness, and swollen lymph glands.
The symptoms are a bit self-limiting but they get better with time. There’s currently no treatment for mononucleosis, but drinking lots of water, resting, and taking medication might help.
