 Hi bbz_kelso,
Symptoms of mononucleosis may range from an elevated temperature, sore throat, enlarged lymph nodes, fatigue, etc., just to name a few. Generally speaking mono is diagnosed by a positive monospot test. Did your physician also perform an Epstein Barr titer? Are you continuing to experience symptoms and were additional lab diagnostics along with a physicial evaluation completed? If not I would encourage you to contact your primary care provider. Best wishes.
Sincerely,
Theresa Jones, RN
