I just took my 2 yr old niece to the emergency room well she has mono I'm almost 16 weeks pregnant they said she could have got it a month ago the symptoms just started 4 days ago I've been around her everyday almost and what if I get mono there is no medicine to help make it go away or is that just for her since she is so young or do they have medicine for it? If I do get mono then what will happen.....

Mono is caused by the
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). It is most often seen in
adolescents and young adults. Children can get the virus, but it often goes
unnoticed because their symptoms are mild. Older adults usually do not get mono,
because they have
immunity to the virus.
Mono can be
spread through contact with saliva, mucus from the nose and throat, and
sometimes tears. Because the virus can be spread through kissing, it has earned
the nickname the "kissing disease." If you have mono, you can avoid passing the
virus to others by not kissing anyone and by not sharing things like drinking glasses,
eating utensils, or toothbrushes.

Man if I was in your situation I would go back to the er and have them test immediately. Mono can't be good for a pregnant woman. I don't know much about it I just know 2 pwople that had it and they got really sick. Or even call ur doc office and see if there is a nurse on call and ask what to do. I really hope you don't have it! Good luck!
