Is Severe Headache, Fatigue, Dizziness And Sore Throat Symptoms Of Mono?
I'm 14, and have been diagnosed with mono twice in the past two years. My symptoms include severe headache, fatigue, dizziness, sore throat, feeling of swollen neck, and much like mono, my energy decreases with any sort of physical activity, including standing up. Does this seem like mono?
