Basically, don't do sport - relax, take it easy don't exert yourself because your condition will deteriorate.
As for food, it's the same as any other illness - unless you feel sick, eat what you like
I was advised to take calcium, magnesium and zinc supplements for a while as well, and drink lots of fresh orange juice which is high in vit C.
Other than that, not sure... don't kiss anyone

My advice would be to rest when you feel tired, don't do streinous exercise or stress yourself out because this is what triggers it. Eat healthily - Lots of fruit and veg, you need extra nutrients especially vitamin C. Drink lots of fluids. Try some herbal treatments for your immune system - Cat's Claw and Sambucol were recommended to me for Glandular fever.
Hope you're feeling ok - Get well soon
Isn't glanduler fever one of those viruses thatnever goes away. Like cold-sores. It stays in your system, and can come back anytime - but it doesn't for a lot of people and is usually triggered by being stressed or when something very emotional happens (i can't explain it properly, can't think of the right word!)
I'm just wondering, not bagging you out perfect!

White with two for me please.
I had GF a few years ago, when I was 18. I was off work for a couple of months and it took me a few more to recover. I lost loads of weight at the same time and it took me longer to get that back. Whenever flu comes around I always seem to be hit hard and I suspect that this is partly because of my previous virus.
You know it's referred to as the "kissing" disease, don't you?
Make sure you dont kiss anyone or share a drink with them coz you'll pass it on coz its very catchy. Even if they dont get symptoms themself they'll then become a carrier and pass it on to everyone else. It doesnt fully leave your system for about a year after but you will always be more prone to it once you've had it so take it easy.
