Hi, XXXXXXXXXX , having an Epstein Barr virus infection does not necessarily means that you will suffer from Lymphoma in the future .
Commonly , this virus only produces cold symptoms or a condition called infectious mononucleosis characterized by the following symptoms : fever,swollen lymph nodes and throat pain .
The virus can not be completely eliminated from your body , what you can do , it is treating the symptoms that this virus produces .
Usually , the symptoms of infection will disappear at 2 weeks , but it can take 6 weeks to be completely recuperated .
You should avoid strong physical activities for one month .
If you have fever or throat pain , you can take Ibuprophen 200 mg, 1 tablet every eight hours ( if you are not allergic to this medication and if you do not suffer from gastritis or gastric ulcers ). Do not take this medication longer than 5 days .
If you like the answer, click accept . A bonus will always be sincerely appreciated .
