Posted on Tue, 10 Oct 2023

Question: My daughter is a 19 yr old college student, and is running a moderately high temp (over 101). She has body aches and a little bit of a sore throat. The fever just came on 6 hrs ago. This happened in March also. She felt terrible, sore throat and ran a moderately fever. She saw a doctor on campus. No strep. Maybe early mono, but she didn't develop swollen glands.
