[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 328916"] I had mono along with strept when I was a teenager. I swear my neck was bigger than my head. easy child had mono when he was 16. He was swollen all over his head. Did blood work and nothing. (that was a Friday) By monday he was even more swollen. Took him to the doctor and TOLD him to find out what is wrong. This time the Mono test was positive. Rest, no jumping, running and not even any swimming. difficult child was only 4. He wasn't feeling well but not swollen up or no complaints. AFter about a week I took him in. Doctor immediately said he had mono, his spleen was swollen. Blood work confirmed it. he was running a very high fever and he was dehydrated. He was hospitalized for 4 days. To this day, we all test positive to mono. difficult child had it the worst, and I was told he will always be a carrier and always test positive. But he won't get it again. Then at age 4, he didn't complain at all. Now - he tells us that time was the sickest he had ever been. So, you need to be careful. Spleen is swollen. Rest, sleep and drink LOTS. This can last up to 6 months. The fatigue just hangs in there. Take it easy as long as you can, and be careful. [/QUOTE]
