Keep your mouth shut next time.

I had mono more than 20 years ago and I still cringe at the memory of that killer sore throat. Listen carefully - Cloroseptic Spray. Aim it straight at the back of your throat. It will burn horribly when it goes on and then aaaaaahhhhhhh it will go numb.
Read the bottle carefully. It will work so well you be tempted to use it too often. It's strong stuff - do not overuse it.

Yes. Mono is often accompanied by strep throat! You should have your throat checked by a doctor asap. An antibiotic can fix the throat over time.
After your bedrest and treatment, get back into things slowly. I took a long time to get over my mono and trying to do too much can send you back to bed.
Take your time to recover.
But please be sure to get the throat checked immediately. Strep can kill.
It's also highly contageous.
Get well quick!
ps. Throat losenges like cepastat, hot wash cloths or bed buddies applied to the neck help. And of course advil or tylenol help too.Mostly just rest.

Advil or a generic ibuprofen. Have your parent's wake you up so you can take some then fall back asleep for two hours or so. That will allow it to kick in. Then take every four hours or so... whatever the bottle says.
It will help with the pain and the swelling. I would also suggest gargling with warm salt water. It will help break all the gunk in your throat up.
Feel better!

Try drinking hot water with lemon and honey. Also, Throat Soothers Tea or Throat Coat Tea by Celestial Seasonings and Yogi Teas are great.
Also, rest!!! Make sure you are getting enough fluid - even slurpies would feel good on your throat right now.
Feel better soon!!!

Have someone get a big box of those icee things and see if that helps. Popsicles? Maybe some Tylenol.
