Is alcohol a strict “no” with mono?
Hey all! I found out I had mono about a week ago after experiencing symptoms for about a week and a half (So likely been infected for about 2 1/2 weeks now) My tonsils are almost totally back to normal with no pain and minimal swelling if any. Only symptoms I'm experiencing now is the fatigue and a bit of tenderness in my spleen.
Tonight my family and I are going out to celebrate the new year, and I'm wondering if it's really that bad to have a drink or two? I don't usually drink, and if there's any risk of even the smallest amount of alcohol causing complications then I would like to avoid it completely.
I know alcohol can be harmful with mono, but since my symptoms are down to a minimum now and it would only be a couple drinks I'm wondering if that would actually cause any problems? Again, I have no issue avoiding it entirely if there's even a tiny chance of being harmed.
