Fever Therapy Treatment And Other Natural Remedies For Treating Infectious Mononucleosis
Immediately upon diagnosis put the infectious mononucleosis patient into a full body pack or a heated tub or whirlpool to induce an artificial fever of 102 degrees for three to five days or until the skin eruptions dry up. An early, mild case may subside with three treatments. An advanced, severe case will require more. The treatments often have been completely curative, even when they are not begun until three weeks or more after the onset of the disease. Some cases will require also regular massage, charcoal poultices, diet restricted in fats and sugars, and general supportive measures.
Sore, swollen and inflamed glands are a typical infectious mononucleosis symptom seen throughout this illness. Swollen glands are normally felt in the neck although some people feel them in the armpits and groin. Herbal Remedies
