What Causes Sore Throat Along With Poor Hearing?

My 22 year old girlfriend is experiencing severe pain which is stopping her from her everyday activities. She is so weak and in so much pain that she has only been getting out of bed like 5 times a day but she can t move around a lot. She has a very sore throat and what seems to be a swollen lymph. Her temperature has dropped and she s very sensitive to light. She has a painful headache and lost hearing in her right ear. I guessed it might be Mono but i m not too sure. It happened all of a sudden.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Please get her to a hospital as soon as possible. From what you are describing, it could be acute meningitis. It is a very serious and sometimes fatal condition. If it is meningitis she could have vomiting or even seizures.
