Answers:
Many of the symptoms of Mono can last up to 3 months!. But, if you sore throat has gotten worse, then I would suggest you contact your Doc and let him/her be aware!. Have you tried taking any Motrin/Advil ( Ibuprofen)!?!. This will help with the discomfort plus, is has anti-inflammatory properties unlike Tylenol!. Take the medication with food or a glass of milk to reduce stomach upset!. Warm, salt water gargles will help as well!. They is a spray that is available over-the-counter that helps numb the throat, Chloraseptic!. I hope that this helps and that you feel better soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Statement 1!. I had mono at end of April!.
Statement 2!. My throat swelled ALOT!.
Question 1!. Is this normal!?

My question!. Does a normal person's throat swell as part of a day to day routine!? I would hope not unless you're a fish!.

As far as going to the doctor, most doctors tell you what you already know, but they have access to things you do not, like antibiotics!. The question for you to ask yourself, is my body fighting the infection, yes, is it overcomming the infection, no (or you wouldn't get tired off and on)!. I would say see the doctor, and continue to eat healthier, Vitamin C, Yogurt, WATER WATER (32 oz a day), and excersize moderately, and you'll be fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you are having trouble swallowing or breathing call 911 or go to ER!.

Call MD 1st & ask if you should come in!.

Suck on Zinc lozenges!. Suck on mentholated cough drops!.
Gargle with very warm salt water 3X/day!.
Gargle with Hydrogen peroxide (will feel weird because of bubbles)!.
Drink tea with lemons
Take Vit C 2000mg every 2 hours for 2-3 days
Zinc 50mg!.
Take 2 Aleve or Advil every four hours for swelling!.

Feel better!. Say hi to your doc : )Www@Answer-Health@Com
