My glands are swollen, this is the worst sore throat I have ever had...I am 25. I am couphing up reall gross stuff. I havent eaten in 3 days....I am drinking lots and lotsof fluids, and gargling salt water. My dr thinks I have mono and put me on zythromyacin yesterday.

Hi, This was called the kissing disease along time ago. Mono takes a long time to get over. A friend of my had this in high school and she had to stay in bed for a month and had to have a lot of fluids. Mono makes you feel very tired and weak. Bed rest and your medicine is the best thing to do.

Give the medication a few days to kick in. If you have mono it will take weeks before you feel better. I hope you feel better soon.
