    I would imagine I picked this up from my 5 year old?! I mean, I don't know, I'm just guessing, as from what I've read children can have it without knowing or have very slight symptoms and then pass it on, which is why such a high percentage of the population have had glandular fever. 😕

    Hi Rosanna.....just to let you know still thinking about you and rooting for you....I haven't known any children with the virus so sorry I can't offer any advice on that one....although my understanding is that although it still affects children as a virus does, it doesn't usually have the same extended recovery period or longish post viral effects that can happen with an adult.
