Infectiousmononucleosis is a disease characterized by fever, store throat, and enlarged lymph nodes, which is cuased by Epstein-Barr virus-one of the herpesviruses.
About 50 percent of all children have had an Epstein-Barr virus infection before the age of 5. However, the virus isn't very contagious. Teenagers and young adults usually catch infecious mononucleosis by kissing or having other intimate contact with someone infected with the virus.
There are four major symptoms are fatigue, a fver, sore throat, and swelling of the lymph nodes. Not everyone has all four symptoms. Plus you can run a fever around 103 degrees F. in the afternoon or evening. Any lymph node may be enlarged, but those in the neck are most commonly enlarged. Fatigue is usually most pronounced in the first 2 to 3 weeks.
Please take yourself to a doctor so that he/she can perform a blood test to detect antibodies to the Epstein-Barr virus.

That sounds a lot like mono, especially the sleepiness and knot on your neck. Could be strep. Go to the doctor as soon as you possibly can because mono can be very dangerous. Hope you get to feeling better, because mono is no fun.

Ooooh, sh!tty man! Yup, that sounds like it. Go get checked. I had mono and i let it go so i got strep at the same time! talk about pain... My advice is that if you do have it get some of that spray-in mouth stuff. It numbs your throat and if you do have mono it wont be long till you cant swallow anything... good luck! hopefully its just the flu or something...
