I want to hear from real doctors or med students on this.
What are kanparay???
I ha dthe pleasure of being afflicted with this thing my final year of high school. Right around prom time …joy! Everyone automatically knew it was kanparay. I had a sore throat, closed ears, a runny nose, allergic eyes, my voice was just weird, and oh yeah lumps under my ears on my neck. I figured out that it was mono, by doing reserach online. (Don’t ask why I didn’t go to the doctor).
Obviosuly I’m perfectly fine now, but I still wonder. What is kanparay? Is kanparay mononucleosis???
sara I know mononucleosis. But Kanparay is a desi name and i dont know about it. They symptoms you gave are of mono. Dont know what kanparay is. For some reason i thought kanparay was mumps though. Seems like you had mono and that is very common.
two completely different terms are being mixed here:
** kanparay**: MUMPS. This is an infection of your saliva-glands caused by a virus. Usually (at least in Holland) children are vaccinated against this, so the chance that you suffered from it is not very big.
mononucleosis: KISSING'S DISEASE or tapghuddy (in Urdu. Can anyone check the spelling?). This is an infection of your throat also caused by a virus, but a different one, the so-called Ebstein-Barr virus. Chances are you had contracted this, but it is in general a benign self-limiting disease.
^ Because you get it from sharing germs. It’s not just from kissing, it can be from drinking from teh same glass or eating utensil or something
Nescio, I did research on the symptoms I had, and mono matched up with it. I don’t think it was mumps. I was born in the US so I probably was vaccinated against it. My parents kept saying it was “kanparay” not “tapghuddy”..
