Options For Treating Glandular Fever

Pain Relief Medication

Ochsner Health System

Pain relief medication can help alleviate the general body aches and headaches that often accompany glandular fever. Typically, over-the-counter pain relievers provide adequate pain control for the majority of patients with this illness. Patients should take the lowest dose that relieves their symptoms, and they should avoid using these medicines for longer than seven days without consulting a doctor. Common side effects from these medicines include liver and kidney issues as well as stomach pain, bloating, dizziness, and anxiety. Patients under sixteen should not use acetylsalicylic acid as pain relief. If over-the-counter options are not enough to control a patient's pain, doctors may choose to prescribe stronger doses or other pain medications.
