Do I have mono?

Question

Mono is going around my school and that's the only reason i'm questioning if I have it or not. But for a little over a week I've had the chills really bad, aching body, nausea, high temperature, coughing and swollen glands. I've had the flu before and it's never lasted this long or have I felt this bad. I'm probably going to go to the doctor today, but I was just wondering if there's a possibilty that this could be mono.

Answer 1

Mononucleosis is known as the kissing disease ebcause it can be transmitted in saliva.

From Medline Plus:
Mono may begin slowly with fatigue, general ill feeling (malaise), headache, and sore throat. The sore throat slowly gets worse, often with swollen tonsils covered with a whitish-yellow covering. The lymph nodes in the neck are frequently swollen and painful.

More common symptoms:
* Fever
* Sore throat
* Swollen lymph nodes, especially in the neck and armpit
* General discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling
* Drowsiness
* Loss of appetite
* Muscle aches or stiffness
* Swollen 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

Answer 2

If you have kissd more than one person it is probably Stereo and not Mono.

Seriously though. There is a lot of Mono in schools this year. Get to the doctor and have it checked out as soon as possible.

Answer 3

with mono you have swollen glands all over your neck and head... check that. It sounds more like you have a cold , or the flu.

It is possable, but one of the my popular signs is if you are always sleepy. Or if you can not control if you can stay awake or not
