Are Swollen Lymph Glands And Fatigue Symptoms Of Mononucleosis?
I am 65 years old, swollen sore glands. Only symptom, other than being a little tired. Went to Doctor , had blood test & they said it s possible I may have Mono. Told me to wait a week & see how symptoms were & cone back if still having issues. I am a tennis payer, will it hurt me to play tennis?

Hello,
If the confirmation is done by Monospot test and it turns out to be positive, then you have to refrain from tennis activity for a period of time till your spleen returns to normal size (time duration varies from person to person). Kindly discuss the same with your family physician for best guidelines and cure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
