What are the symptoms of mono?

What are mono symptoms, is there a chance I have it?

• Someone said my symptoms sound like mono in my earlier question. I have sudden heat spikes, nausea, sore throat (hurts to talk/swallow/open mouth), and I vomited several times today. My temperature is 100.1 F. (varies from 99.9-101.4 but the most common one was 100.1 F). Could I have mono? I also feel weak and I find it hard to move (Sit up, stand up, and sometiems even lifting stuff). I had my sore throat since Saturday after I woke up, then I woke up today and threw up in the shower. Please help, I have an important school assignment worth 50% of my grade sometime this weak, will I be able to go? Cheers!

• Answer:

  Symptoms Mono may begin slowly with fatigue, a general ill feeling, headache, and sore throat. The sore throat slowly gets worse. Your tonsils become swollen and develop a whitish-yellow covering. The lymph nodes in the neck are frequently swollen and painful. A pink, measles-like rash can occur and is more likely if you take the medicines ampicillin or amoxicillin for a throat infection. (Antibiotics should NOT be given without a positive Strep test.) Symptoms of mononucleosis include: Drowsiness Fever General discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling Loss of appetite Muscle aches or stiffness Rash Sore throat Swollen lymph nodes, especially in the neck and armpit Swollen spleen Less frequently occurring symptoms include: Chest pain Cough Fatigue Headache Hives Jaundice (yellow color to the skin) Neck stiffness Nosebleed Rapid heart rate Sensitivity to light Shortness of breath
