Does Swollen Lymph Node On Neck And Weakness Indicate Mono?

For about a week my lymph node on my right side of my neck has been swollen (enough that it s visible without even feeling it) and my neck and back are sore, immulating flu like symptoms. However, I have only had a low grade fever and no pain in my throat or ears. I am so tired all the time and feel extremely weak. Just in the past couple days there is pain when I take deep breaths. Does this sound like mono? I m not sure since my throat is not sore at all. What would you recommend?

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Yes it is looking like a mono infections.

But there is no need to worry as mono infection is self limiting in most of the patients.

Simple symptomatic treatment and preventive antibiotics is sufficient to cure the infections.

Only some patient will develop in to the chronic mono infections and will be diffcult to treat unless we visit to the chronic fatigue specialist.

You can maintain good hygiene and eat great food. This is all what is necessary to cure your infection.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
