some common symtoms of mono are
fever
sore throat
enlarged lymph nodes, especially in the neck and armpit
general discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling
drowsiness
loss of appetite
muscle aches or stiffness
enlarged spleen
rash
Less frequently occurring symptoms include:
jaundice (yellow cast to skin)
headache
neck stiffness
sensitivity to light
cough
shortness of breath
chest pain
rapid heart rate
fatigue
nosebleed
hives
The most common symptoms of mono are fever, severe sore throat, swollen glands, and fatigue. Serious symptoms can include abdominal pain, which may suggest an inflamed spleen and liver, and difficulty breathing, which can suggest swollen glands in the throat closing the airway.
Take acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) for fever and pain control.
Throat lozenges or gargling with warm salt water may soothe a sore throat.
Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration.
Rest in bed and limit activity according to the degree of the illness.
Avoid strenuous exercise and contact sports until the doctor allows resumption of activities. The spleen may be enlarged, and vigorous activity may cause it to rupture.
Most doctors believe that a person with mono should postpone strenuous activities for at least 1 month after the onset of symptoms or until the spleen has returned to its normal size.
