i am 13 and i have glandular fever. can i got to school or not??


Answer:
No, sorry. No school for a while.

The infection is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, which can be spread via airborne droplets.

The incubation period from infection to when the symptoms first appear is between 30 and 50 days.

So here is what you’ve to do to get properly better:

Hot drinks to relieve the sore throat.

Drink plenty of fluids when you run a fever.

Rest when you’re exhausted or are running a fever.

Resume physical activities slowly.

Wait at least FOUR WEEKS before resuming activities involving heavy physical strain. You could damage yourself if you don't wait.

Now the good news :) Glandular fever usually takes two to four weeks and resolves itself without complications. In about 3 per cent of all cases, it goes on longer. After having the disease, you’ll have lifelong immunity to it, so will not catch it again.
