Your tonsils are imbedded on opposite sides of your throat. In order for them to "touch each other", they'd have to swell up to about the size of golf balls.

Palatine tonsils and adenoids are NOT synonymous. Palatine tonsils, sometimes called faucial tonsils, are found at the back of the throat. Adenoids are the pharyngeal tonsils, located in the back of the nasal cavity.
Symptoms of Mono are lack of energy, loss of apetite, fever, severe soar throat, chills, and swollen lymph glands.
