- Severe fatigue.
- Headache.
- Sore throat, which sometimes can be very severe.
- Chills, followed by a fever.
- Muscle aches.
After a day or two, these additional symptoms of mono may occur:
- Swollen lymph nodes.
- Jaundice (a yellow tinge to the skin and eyes).
- A measles-like skin rash anywhere on the face or body; sometimes the rash develops suddenly after taking amoxicillin for a severe sore throat.
- Tiny red spots or bruise-like areas inside the mouth, especially on the roof of the mouth (palate).
- Soreness in the upper-left abdomen, from an enlarged spleen.
The best treatment is rest, at least for the duration of the fatigue - usually a week or two. To relieve the sore throat, drink lots of fluids, gargle with salt water and take Tylenol -- not aspirin.
In addition to treatment, be sure to wash the dishes and utensils used by people with mono - and don't share food with them. The virus is passed through saliva, which is how mono earned its nickname "the kissing disease."
