What can you take for glandular fever?!

She needs lots of rest. There is no specific treatment for glandular fever, also known as infectious mononucleosis, and caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. Antibiotics are not helpful, as this is a virus infection. In fact there is one antibiotic, ampicillin, which is more likely to cause a rash if given to people with glandular fever. She may need pain medication or anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen. Hot drinks can help relieve the sore throat. She should drink plenty of fluids.

These sites have more information about mononucleosis.

Take paracetamol and lots of rest, try and keep her spirits up, just having some company will make her feel better. Maybe try some homeopathic medicines.Health Question & Answer
