What are the symptoms of mono?

What are the symptoms of mono, and how long before the symptoms start to show?

  • I either have really bad allergies or something else.. im not sure. But i was just wondering what the symptoms of mono was, and how long can mono be in your system before the symptoms start to show. I share drink cups and eating utensils all the time, but the last time i kissed a guy was the beginning of July or so. Im a 16 year old female by the way.

  • Answer:

    you dont have to kiss someone to get mono. sharing utensils and drinking glasses is enough. mixture of one persons bodily fluids (spit is a great one...hence the whole kissing disease name) with your own is all it takes. the first time i had mono was when i was on a very sad year long no guy and kissing train ride. and i didnt even know anybody with mono at the time. as for symptoms...i didnt have any for the longest time. my doctor was shocked how bad my mono was when my blood work came back...i felt fine for the most part. the only reason i went in was for swollen lymph nodes in my neck. they were the size of eggs. also exhaustion and a sore throat. rashes fevers chills and headaches as well. not all symptoms show up for everyone though so keep your eye open for any of them.

The symptoms of mononucleosis are: fever, sore throat, muscle soreness, fatigue, abdominal pain, headache, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, depression, dizziness, disorientation, painful swallowing, enlarged tonsils, cough, and swelling around the eyes. The virus has a long incubation period and sometimes won't show symptoms until 30 to 60 days after infection. Most often symptoms appear two weeks to 60 days after you've been infected. The most common symptom is constant fatigue, a constant state of feeling tired. As another of its nicknames, 'glandular fever,' implies, the most distinguishing mono symptom is enlarged glands, or lymph nodes, in the neck, armpit and groin.

ER Nurse

The initial symptoms of mono are a general lack of energy or malaise, a loss of appetite, and chills. These initial symptoms can last from one to three days before the more intense symptoms of the illness begin. The more common intense symptoms include a severe sore throat, fever, and swollen glands (lymph nodes) in the neck area. It is typically the severe sore throat that prompts people to contact their doctor.
