Glandular fever is linked to an underlying viral condition, which can be hard to diagnose as the physical symptoms are general and often come and go. As this is an underlying infection, it can include symptoms like a mild sore throat, sore glands, bouts of depression, flu like symptoms and general tiredness that often lasts for several months.
It’s when the headaches, body temperature increases, hard to eat and nausea symptoms appear as well as swollen tonsils that you know you have a full-blown attack of glandular fever. The key is to identify early in the events as to what is causing the underlying infection, often called infectious mononucleosis, to precipitate recovery.
It’s a good practitioner that can identify your condition early on, but that is fairly rare. This is why a holistic approach to support your health recovery is better than taking suppressive medication such as antidepressants.
