I have really bad mono and I need to get better fast. HELP!?

Question:

I woke up Monday morning with a few white spots on my tonsils and my right lymph node was swollen. My throat wasn't very sore though. I chose to wait it out and see if it got worse. It got a little worse so I went to the doctor on Wednesday, this past Wednesday and he told me I had strep throat. The culture was positive for strep. He prescribed me zithromax, which usually works for me. I woke up Thursday morning with the worst throat pain. I looked at my throat and the spots had multiplied, i mean quadruppled. I was horrible. my right lymph node was doubled in size. My head was pounding. I thought it was just the strep getting worse. So i rested most of the day and then woke up again today, Friday and my throat looked even worse. I went back to the doctor and they told me I had mono. So now I'm really sick with mono apparently and my boyfriend is coming to visit the 27th and I need to get better. I want to get better. Does anyone have any advice? What should I do?

Answers:
there is no way to speed up the process of mono, it will be the worst sore throat you have ever had. you will also feel like you have the flu. it can last for months, you need to rest all the time to prevent secondary problems. drink plenty of liquids. DO NOT PASS IT ON.. you don't want to pass it on to anyone. don't take this lightly, you can pass it by letting someone drink after you, or kissing, or smoking a cigarette after someone. momo is a horrible illness and i wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. but to answer your question...it will seem like forever before you get better.

DON'T EXERCiSE or exert yourself, as it can cause your spleen to rupture!

I had mono a couple of months ago and it is THE WORST THiNG EVER!! Anyways, just drink TONS of water, and stay in bed for a while.

Mine didn't go away until 5 weeks!! It was the wost thing ever.

Good luck and I hope you feel better..mono sucks ]:

There is no get quick cure for mono. Just be a good girlfriend and don't pass it on to your boyfriend. Lots of rest is the key.

I get sick alot, not mono but my doctor once said that 80% of your healing is done while you sleep. He said that's why people get so tired when they're sick because their body needs sleep to higher the white blood cells so try & sleep as much as you can. I hope you feel better
