hi my names gemma and im 17. i have had a bad infection in my throught and has caused bad pains in my mouth, i had penacilin from the hospital and eventually cleared up, but after 2 days of finishing it, it came back and had the same symptoms, the doctor said i still had an infection so i went back on penacillin. i finished that and then yet again it came back worse and had thrush in my mouth i have had medication to clear it up but now i am feeling ill and continiously tired, my glands are swolen and very painfull and have no energy, and also having mild pains on the left side under my rib. I went back to the doctor today and they have said i have glandular fever. i have missed 3 weeks off college and yet missing another week. When i started to feel unwell i was constantly falling asleep during lessons in college! is too much sleep bad for me? Can gandular fever lead into any other illneses? as i am a big worrier!.. any advice would be appreaciated! thankyou.

My daughter was diagnosed with glandular fever two weeks ago and was at that time very poorly. She now sleeps most of the day and seems a little better in the evenings. How long should this pattern go on for as she is desperate to get back to school and be with her friends. Should we interrupt this pattern and try school for half days and when do we know the contagious time is over? Any advice greatly appreciated as up to now conflicting information is confusing.
