You should not miss out on your prom. You can't spread mono by just being around people. Just make sure to not drink or eat after anyone. Get some rest this week so you can feel better. Drink lots of fluids and stay hydrated. Yes, you should definitely go to your prom.

i wouldnt go..risk the chance of spreading it
proms stupid anyway..waste of money

I would reason a guess no. What did your doc say about it? Thats the person you need to be asking, not us.

Go :) Even if you only feel well enough to stay a little while, you'll always remember it!

You only get a short time to be a kid. Use it or lose it!!

Hope you have an amazing time!!

Yes

well if you are feeling up to it then yeah go or you can go for a little bit just to see everyone.. i loved my prom it was one of the best nights in highschool. if you are feeling okay on that day then go!

im illergic to ibuprofen so be careful with that i know alot of people are.
i really cant tell you to go or not
if your feeling better then go but if your feeling worse then dont

You should really be resting. Being super active during mono can make you even sicker. I would not recommend going. Sorry :( Mono sucks, worst six months of my life.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mono is EXTREMLEY contagous, plus when all your friends head out for prom you will be passed out from exaughtion. Do not, I repeat DO NOT go to prom! I can't belive how INCREDIBLY stupid you are all being. Mono as I said is EXTREMLEY CONTAIGOUS!!!! Stop being stupid and start giving her some responsible advice!

If you're contageous(sp?), then no, don't go. If you're safe to be around other people and feel up to going, then go for it! I'd hate to miss prom because of some rotten luck. Besides, if it's that close, you probably have all of your stuff already and it'd be a waste not to use it. Hope you feel better and have fun if you go!

You only get one prom and I would have regretted mine for something small like being sick. If you feel that bad, leave early, but you should at least make an effort to go. You didn't buy those fancy shoes for nothing!

Get some night nurse on the go, drink loads of water and get loads of sleep. drink lemsip and use de-congestants, and if it doesn't go away I still think you should go to prom, mines coming up and I wouldn't miss out on it!

well if the doc gave u medication for ur throat it should start to feel better and its only monday so u have almost a wekk 2 rest up and get better

i say u should defo go the prom as it is a night u will always remember with all ur friends etc.
by then u should really be feeling alot better than what u do now anyway!

hope that helped and get better soon

Well it depends on a few things. First, it depends if this is your last chance to go to prom. If you are a Junior, you always have next year. If you are a senior you really should go if you are not feeling to bad. Second, it depends on if you have a date or not. Personally, I would feel bad canceling on someone for such an important event. If not, then it wouldn't be as big of a deal. Third, it will really depend on how you feel on Friday. If you are feeling ok, then go for it. Prom is a memorable experience that you do not want to miss out unless you have abosuletly no choice. If you are feeling bad and you have your senior prom next year, you may want to hold off.

Also remember, Mono is contagious. It's called the kissing disease because that's generally how it is tranfered. It can also be given to other people by coughing, so also keep this in mind when you make your decision. Hope everything turns out OK.

Hmmm... i guess u shouldn't go. Don't take chance right now! What if u mess up really bad infront of ur prom partner? I reckon u'll be really embarrassed, so i think u shouldn't go! Tell he/she that u can hang with he/she l8ter when u feel good!
I hope my advice works! =]

I would stay home but then again I would want to go to prom. Sit down with your mother and doctor and deside what is best I know some school say if you are not at school than no prom so that might already be answered 4 u
