What are the symptoms of mono?

I think I have mono. & please dont reply to this question calling me a slxt or anything like that because I didnt get it from kissing anyone. I havent kissed anyone since april. But, I have drank after a lot of people

  • my throat is sore *everytime I swallow it hurts soo bad
  • my face is red, & it feels like I have a fever (I don’t know if I do, my parents arent awake)
  • I feel pretty weak *I think thats because I havent eaten, & I havent eaten because I really havent been hungry and when my dad tried to make me eat something it hurt too bad to swallow it
  • & I have chills all over my body

Does that sound like anything, & if you dont think its mono than what is it? Just the common cold- or strep?

& I have been extremely tired and taking naps all through the day. Today I went to six flags- got home about 9 and just slept on the couch until like 3 this morning. & yesterday I got 9 hours of sleep that night and still took like a 4 or 5 hour nap in the middle of the day

If anyone is going to call you names because you might have mono than they really lack maturity. Anyways here’s the information:

When you think of mono, you probably associate it with teenagers and young adults. Actually, mono most often occurs in these age groups. About 50% of students have had mononucleosis by the time they finish high school. If you are a teenager, the prospect of a few weeks or more off school is probably quite appealing. However, mono can have some pretty horrible symptoms and can leave you feeling tired and weak for months. Mononucleosis symptoms generally take about 4 to 8 weeks to appear, though on occasion, it can take up to 12 weeks for symptoms to develop. Symptoms include:

* Initially, loss of energy, chills, and a lack of appetite
* Bad sore throat and swollen lymph nodes (for the first 2 weeks)
* Fever
* Extreme fatigue
* Persistently tender spleen (felt as a pain in your left side)
* Rarely, a pink rash will appear on the body
