Rest, pain relievers and gargling

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for trusting us with your health related questions.

I understand your concern. Mononucleosis is an infection caused by a virus, therefore there is no specific treatment for it other than plenty of rest, drinking lots of fluids, pain relievers, such as Tylenol or Advil, as needed, as well as salt water gargling.
Tea with honey and throat lozenges may also relieve the symptoms. If symptoms continue for more than 10 days please see your primary care doctor for further evaluation.

I hope this answers your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care.
