Question I just got back from the doctors and found out that I have Mono. I was really in a panic because first of all I am going to Vegas for a week on July 5, and secondly I was like how did I get this!?? My doctor said that it's not at the point where I have to get my tonsils drained but he gave me Prednisone for the time being. Some questions that I forgot to ask him, because I wasn't feeling the best.. were
~ Can I go jet skiing with mono?
~When can I kiss my boyfriend again who had mono at the age of 10 (Who probably gave it to me lol) Never told me till now :( ugh.
~Can I drink alcohol at all?
~ What foods should I avoid /or foods that might be better for me.
~ Can I go in the sun?
I just got everything ready for this trip and its a real bummer if I can't enjoy myself. I actually have taken the meds twice already, three tablets a day ..and I am feeling sooo good my throat doesn't hurt hardly at all!!! Only one of my tonsils was swollen so that's good.I'm not feeling weak at all and Iv'e been packing and cleaning all day:)
Thanks for answering my questions. It's much appreciated!!

Answer Hi Kristen,
~ Can I go jet skiing with mono?
You should refrain from strenuous physical activity for at least 3 weeks.
~When can I kiss my boyfriend again who had mono at the age of 10 (Who probably gave it to me lol) Never told me till now :( ugh.
No. You should avoid any kissing or sharing of drinks/food until you recover from mono. It may be 3 months for full recovery.
~Can I drink alcohol at all?
No. You should not drink alcohol while on prednisone.
~ What foods should I avoid /or foods that might be better for me.
there is no dietary restrictions.
~ Can I go in the sun?
yes... if the only medication you are prescribed is prednisone.
Please consult your physicians by telephone as she or he has a better understanding of your current health status and types of medication you're taking.
