A sore throat is a common symptom of Epstein Barr Virus infection. Patients with mononucleosis may or may not have white patches in their tonsils. You can see these by examining the throat area. Use a mirror if you are doing self-examination.
Due to the similarities, the white patches may be confused for patches from strep throat. Whatever the case, consult your doctor for assessment and proper treatment.
