How long do symptoms of mononucleosis remain?

Question

I've been diagnosed with mono and have an extremely sore throat--sometimes, it's difficult to swallow my own saliva. When can I expect this to disappear?

Answer 1

When I was in college and had mono, my throat was extremely sore. My uvula was swollen and actually shriveled up and most of it fell off. The campus doctor saw me every day for awhile before I went home to recover. I returned to a limited schedule three weeks later but carried 102' fever each evening for several more weeks. It took a full six months to feel really well.
For the throat, try mixing 2 parts honey to 1 part apple cider vinegar and take a sip every hour. Gargle and swallow. You can even use the mixture with a swab. That does reduce the pain and time it takes to get the best of the sore throat.

Answer 2

I had mono over 10 years ago I was given pain pills which my mom crushed and gave to me in applesauce. it usually takes about 2 weeks for the pain to go away and many months to completely recover. It is extremely important to stay hydrated so if you are having trouble swallowing I would call your doctor. Dehydration is not fun. Try over the counter throat sprays that numb your throat and warm clear liquids. I am still testing positive for mono I guess the virus can remain dormant in your system forever.
