EBV question

[mark670]

Hi All,
I been feeling sick for the past six months, fatigue, rash, headache pain in lymph groin armpits and recently discomfort on my tongue/whole moth and sore throat
About a month ago I got tested for EBV and the doctor said sometime probably  over two month ago, I was exposed to EBV infection.
My question is, do symptoms of EBV last for six months or more, the pain in the lymph groin, armpits the sore throat, rash and the fatigue are getting worse.
Please answer me if you can as I’m worried about other diseases as well.

Thanks

There can be complications but it getting worse over the course of 6 months isn't typical . You'll need to continue to follow up with your provider for this. If you want a 2nd opinion, get one.

Thanks a lot for your feedback, I have one more questions please.

I have not been getting enough rest was with very stressfull job in Asia and a lot of drinking few times a week do you think this has something to do with why the symptoms are keep coming back and not recovering for the past few months?

By the time we hit our 40's, about 90% of us have ebv. It's very common.  It can be passed on to both males and females. It's not a std.

Have you followed up on your genital issues with your gyn?
