well bedofroses218,
The best thing to prevent your spleen from rupturing is to not lift heavy objects, do not exercise, and do not drink any alcohol. I had the same problem. Not doing any of what i just mentioned helped so much. The swelling went down, and i can actually sleep at night. I'm a pediatric nurse, so i know various methods on how to cure Epstein-Barr Virus (mono). Anymore questions? Write me.
Feel better soon. (:
Dr.Kimberly
