10. When to See a Doctor

The symptoms of mono are shared with a number of other illnesses. If you experience a sore throat that does not go away after a few days, you should get checked for a secondary strep infection. Likewise, a stiff neck, headache or rash need to be assessed to rule out meningitis.

If you develop more serious symptoms, such as dizziness, difficulty breathing or swallowing, extreme weakness in the legs or arms or a persistent high fever, you should contact your doctor. Should you experience a sharp pain on the left side of your abdomen, it is important to see a healthcare provider quickly.
