Have you been tested for Lyme Disease? I have been sick for 3-4 weeks and I was tested for Lyme and Mono and was diagnosed with Mono. It took 2 tests. Were you tested with the Monospot test? That was the first test I had, you can test negative if they test you too soon in your illness. If so, ask for mono culture (I forget official name, something EBV), it takes longer (a couple days) but is more accurate, it was how I was diagnosed (at least 2 weeks into having symptoms). Also have you had your CBC checked? You will have liver enzyme changes and other changes there. Also, has your doctor felt your left side for an enlarged spleen? Does your left side hurt? Those are more mono symptoms that even without a positive lab test could safely tell you you have mono (that's what I was told before my mono test came back positive).
It depends on why your throat is swollen. You may have an infection and need treatment, if you throat is swollen for more than two days I'd recommend a doctor visit. Other than that, a swollen throat from a little cough has gone away with cough drops and hot tea in my experience.
If your throat is swollen, but does not feel sore, it is likely glands in the throat, possibly a saliva gland has become blocked. See your doctor.
If your throat has been swollen for two weeks, with or without pain, you should go to the doctor immediately. If its your lymph nodes it could be a serious problem.
