Diagnosed With Mono. Feeling Better. Told To Resume Normal Activity. Get Tongue Pierced?
I contracted mono sometime in December unknowingly. Then 4 weeks later around Janurary 20th i got the symptoms, was sick for a while finally went to the doctor & was diagnosed. I ve had several doctors visits since then & now have no more symptoms & have been told to resume normal activity. Although i feel better im still most likely contagious & technically still have mono. (I think, if i m wrong let me know). So can i get my tongue pierced?
Hi and welcome to HCM. Thank you for your query. Yes you can if you arent afraid to be contagious for the man who is going to pierce you. So just wait for bit more. 6 months must pass till infection is healed. There is no need to hurry with piercing,just be patient. WIsh you good health.
