Hi,
so since it is not mono, i went to a specialist (ENT) who told me if it didnt get better to come back in a week. It is not better. Now that I am off the antibiotics I feel sicker. I wouldn't say i have a cold, because My cough is dry and hurts because it is to clear my throat. I'm having more of a difficulty breathing, like my throat is stuffy. I have no mucus in my nose/ stuffy or runyn nose. My chest/ throat feel a little tight and tonsils are STILL swollen. I think I am going back next week.
Well I got the mono results back, its not mono. So I am going to an Ear Nose and Throat specialist in 2 days... They still don't have any idea whats wrong/ causing it.
Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be due to infectious mononucleosis. Infectious mononucleosis caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). EBV is a member of the herpesvirus family.Apart from fever,malaise and sore throat,it can effect the liver and spleen..
Treatment is with penicillin or erythromycin. Available antiviral drugs have no significant effect on the overall outcome of mono and may actually prolong the course of the illness.You can take Tynelol(acetaminophen) for fever.I would suggest that you wait for the investigations report for mono and then start with the antibiotics.
I hope that helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
Also I forgot to add I have been running a slight fever even with antibiotics and ibuprofen. And I am 16 years old
