Homeopathy for glandular fever

introduction

Pfeiffer's glandular fever is a viral infection (Epstein-Barr virus), also known as the "kissing disease", which mainly affects children and adolescents between the ages of 15 and 19. The disease is transmitted through infectious saliva. Absolute physical rest is necessary as therapy.

Symptoms can be alleviated with homeopathic remedies, primarily the often extreme sore throat with swelling and reddening of the mucous membranes and restlessness caused by a fever.
