The chronic fatigue syndrome
The chronic fatigue syndrome is a complex clinical picture, which is characterized by extreme fatigue and cannot yet be explained by an organic cause. It is often brought in connection with the Pfeiffer’s glandular fever. In a symptomatic illness with Pfeiffer’s glandular fever, a pronounced physical weakness and fatigue is often observed, which can last for several weeks even after the other symptoms have healed. In chronic fatigue syndrome, the performance of everyday activities is restricted and bed rest does not lead to an improvement in the general condition.
Treatment of chronic whistling glandular fever
Basically, the improvement and alleviation of the symptoms is the main focus of the therapy of Pfeiffer’s glandular fever. – Physical protection should be observed. – In case of severe pain and fever, painkillers such as ibuprofen and Aspirin® or other antipyretic painkillers such as paracetamol can help.
- Due to the fever and the defence processes in the body, the sufferer is at risk of losing a lot of fluid. For this reason, care must be taken to drink a sufficient quantity of fluids. – Ampicillin should not be given for sore throats, as this is a viral infection and some antibiotics cause a rash in the Epstein Barr virus.
The holistic therapy approach of homeopathy has been dealing for years with possible improvements for the symptoms of a chronically active Epstein Barr virus infection. Here, diluted active ingredients are used to attempt to initiate regulatory processes in the body and support the healing process. The aim is to maintain a change in the cells and organs of the body by strengthening the immune system.
If you are interested in a naturopathic therapy, you can visit a homeopathic practice. Since the chronically active form of the Pfeiffer’s glandular fever is very rare, no general statement can be made about the duration or prognosis of the disease. In principle, the symptoms must persist for more than 3 months in order to have the prerequisites for a chronic illness. Depending on the individual condition and response to therapy, the duration of the symptoms varies. The prognosis of the disease is mainly dependent on complications that may occur.
When will you be allowed to do sports again?
Basically, it is also important when resuming sports activities that the overall condition of each patient is assessed individually and that the decision is made accordingly. If a spleen enlargement has occurred, physical protection is important until the normal size of the spleen is measured by the doctor using ultrasound. As far as the blood count is concerned, the viral load in particular should be examined and sport should only be resumed when the viral DNA can no longer be detected.
Excessive strain can put too much strain on the immune system and disturb the healing process. It is also advisable to wait for the blood count and liver values to normalise.
