1. What is Mono?

Mono is the abbreviated name for a mononucleosis infection and is also known as glandular fever, or the kissing disease. The reason for the latter name is that infections are transmitted through saliva. In addition to kissing, the infection can be caught by sharing drinking vessels and cutlery, and also through other people sneezing. The symptoms of mono are usually quite mild and the condition is rarely something to be concerned about. It is also quite common for the condition to not be diagnosed. Symptoms that are associated with mono include fever, fatigue, headache, sore throat, swollen tonsils, swollen lymph nodes, and a swollen spleen.
