Question: I am a 54 year old female who was recently told that I had tested positive for mononucleosis. I had been suffering with the classic symptoms ( fever,sore throat, fatigue) along with some not so classic symptoms such as a short bout of vomiting and mild diarrhea. When the doctors office contacted me, they stated that I had had a "recent" mono infection and at the time of the phone call with the doctors office, my symptoms had started to subside. I have been resting and drinking plenty of fluids. I decided yesterday that I was doing much better. My sore throat was gone completely and I felt that I had a lot of energy. I decided to do a few loads of laundry and general light housework. This morning I woke up with a sore throat again and fell a little fatigued but not exhausted. Should I continue with light activities? I was given the diagnosis of the recent mono infection about a week ago.
