Coping with glandular fever

Coping with glandular fever
Average rating: 4 out of 5 star rating

There's no specific treatment for glandular fever but I found Nurofen Liquid Capsules were excellent painkillers.

When my daughter picked up glandular fever all I could do was give her bed rest until she felt better. But she found gargling with paracetamol regularly relieved her sore throat and brought her temperature down until she got better.

My partner has this and needed hospital treatment but alot of either hot or cold drinks do help the sore throat along with regular paracetamol and neurofen will help with the pain and fever. you must try to eat soft foods to keep your strenght to fight this off
