The part of the abdomen is your spleen, which filters your blood that contains the virus. You may notice when it is hard to swallow it may be affecting your lymph glands. Simple blood tests will test for this virus. Seeing white spots in your throat and the doctor feels an enlargement of your spleen or lymph glands he will order several natural solutions that will assist on your road to recovery. Recovery will be different for patients. This is a virus and does not respond well to antibiotics.

Mono kissing disease is contracted through the exchange of bodily fluids such as: mucus and saliva. As well, mononucleosis is nicknamed ''Mono Kissing Disease!

Mononucleosis can often cause a person to have a sore throat, so it is important that a person gargle a few times a day to help relieve it. Gargling helps get rid of the bacteria in the throat and helps reduce the swelling. There are many things that available for a person to gargle with, but it is recommended that a person use either salt water or licorice for the best results.

Going to a doctor, he will check to see if your lymph nodes are swollen. Sometimes your spleen or your liver will be swollen and they will check for that because it can be a very direct indicator as to if you have mono or not. The doctor will probably want to do some blood work on you to confirm if you have mono the kissing disease or not. If you have a higher than normal white blood count the chances are that you do have mono the kissing disease.
