Huh, THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS TO ME. It's probably a short flu. If it goes bad, go see a doctor. If you want to try to stop it a little slower though, get ice in a towel and put it over your throat for about an hour or 2, sit on a couch, and watch T.V. I recommend you stay away from school/work. If it gets a little worse (More coughing and sneezing.) Use VICKS and rub over your: Chest, Arms, Legs, Head, Forehead, Throat, and Neck. If you get a little better, take about 2-5 days off from school/work.
About your birth control pills, take them like you're supposed to take them. I don't think It'll affect it. But before you do, read the label and find out or... better yet... look on-line!

Well there's alot of questions? How long have you had it? Are your glands swollen? Are you very fatigued?, etc.
Try going to www.webmd.com and click on self diagnoses.
It will help you to know if you need to see a doctor, or try home treatment, then give you suggestions. Mono is really going around in some areas and that may be a posibility. Best oif luck and feel better soon!

well, i have the same thing. and ive been worried lately. so it depends on how you are living. are you stressed about anything? even if its a little? because keep in mind, stress DOES effect your physical wellness...
