10 Mononucleosis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #5: Body and Muscle Pain
Another vague symptom of viral infections is body ache, specifically of joints (arthralgias) and muscles (myalgias). This symptom may occur in EBV infection but is less common than in other viral diseases. The pain starts slowly then increases over time. Muscle ache and arthralgias are associated with general fatigue, fever, sore throat, and other vague symptoms.
Since all these symptoms are nonspecific, it’s recommended that you go to a primary care center and get yourself checked. Through clinical examination and blood tests, the physician will be able to confirm whether you have mono or not. Your early checkup is important to prevent the spread of the disease to other people.
