Q: So, to try and gain some perspective of the typical time period, have any of you had glandular fever and how long did it last for you? Six weeks is a very long time to have it. I was under the impression you had it for about a month then felt awful for another couple of weeks. Initial symptoms commonly include: 1 Loss of appetite. 2 Chills. 3 Mental and physical fatigue/weakness. 4 Aching muscles. 5 These symptoms are usually followed 2-3 days later by: 6 Fever. 7 Headache. 8 Sore, reddened throat with enlarged tonsils. 9 Swollen glands in the neck, armpits and/or groin. Some people become infected with EBV but do not develop symptoms. This is called a subclinical infection. How long do the symptoms last? The glandular fever symptoms usually resolve by themselves within two to three weeks of the initial infection. Initial three to five days will be the worst followed by improvement in a gradual course. The fever usually lasts for 10 to 14 days and declines in severity after the initial three to five days. Fatigue however may persist for up to three to six months. Normal activity may be resumed within one to two months of the infection. In young children the onset of the glandular fever is usually short term. Glandular fever is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The virus is found in the saliva of infected people and can be spread through: kissing (it is often referred to as the kissing disease) exposure to coughs and sneezes. sharing eating and drinking utensils, such as cups, glasses and unwashed forks and spoons. https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/glandular-fever The information on this site should not be used as an alternative to professional care.
