Answer 2

The problem with mono is a lot of the time, the symptoms are so minor, it goes undetected because people think it is just a cold.

The main symptoms are:

The most common symptoms of mono are:

Fever and chills.
Sore throat, often with white patches on the tonsils (which may resemble strep throat).
Swollen lymph nodes all over the body, especially the lymph nodes in the neck.
Swollen tonsils.
Headache or body aches.
A lack of energy and fatigue.
Loss of appetite.
Pain in the upper left part of the abdomen, which may indicate that the spleen has become enlarged.

Answer 3

Not everyone infected with the virus that causes mono (Epstein-Barr virus, or EBV) has symptoms. This is especially true in young children, who may have a fever but no other symptoms. Young adults between the ages of 15 and 24 are more likely to have obvious symptoms.

The most common symptoms of mono are:

Fever, which may range from 101 °F(38.3 °C) to 104 °F(40 °C), and chills.
Sore throat, often with white patches on the tonsils (which may resemble strep throat).
Swollen lymph nodes all over the body, especially the lymph nodes in the neck.
Swollen tonsils.
Headache or body aches.
A lack of energy and fatigue.
Loss of appetite.
Pain in the upper left part of the abdomen, which may indicate that the spleen has become enlarged.

Mono can cause a rash if you take antibiotics such as penicillin, ampicillin, or amoxicillin. These antibiotics are often prescribed for other causes of sore throat, such as strep throat, and might be prescribed for you before the doctor knows you have mono. The rash is not an allergic reaction.

Mono may cause your spleen to swell to 2 or 3 times its normal size; an enlarged spleen occurs in up to 50% of those with mono.3 A blow to the abdomen can cause an enlarged spleen to rupture.1 To reduce this risk, avoid heavy lifting and contact sports for 3 to 4 weeks after you become ill with mono or until your doctor says it is safe. Very rarely the spleen may rupture on its own.

Symptoms of mono can be more severe and last longer in people who have an impaired immune system or a rare genetic condition called X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome.

The symptoms of infectious mononucleosis, such as a sore throat and fever, are found in many other conditions as well.

Answer 4

The symptoms I had was fatigue, swelling of the glands under the chin, a "bloated" feeling caused by an enlarged spleen. My Dr. at the time was treating me for flu like symptoms; however I was gettinng somewhat worse, like difficulity breathing and my boss carried me to his Dr. and the Dr. while in his office looked at me and said I know what you have but we are going into the lab and I will take a blood sample to confirm what I know it is.

He was right on target. I had to get bed rest, but the hardest part was breathing as the spleen was pressisng on the chest wall. I missed six weeks of work, and was still fatigued after six months.

I was within days of having my spleen removed...Mono is nothing to fool around with. You know why they call it "Mono"? Mono is one, and you only can get it once
