I heard that mono was caused by a herpes virus. Also I heard that it isn't good to mix Amoxil and Predisolone because there could be complications. Also, I heard that it extremely contagious. I am at loss to find answers because my sons doctor is out of town due to family emergency and the doctor that is taking over has an extremely high work load and doesn't have time to get back for my questions. If you can help me or tell me where to go for answers, I'd sincerely appreciate it.
Herpes viruses are a class of viruses, of which there are several.
Herpes simplex and herpes zoster are two types of herpes viruses and zovirax is used to treat both of them. It is contagious. I can't speak to why the doctor prescribed the meds. They all may well have been appropriate. Experts appearing on this page are independent and are solely responsible for editing and fact-checking their material.
