Can Treated Mono Infection Cause Swollen Face And Eyes?

Hi I was diagnosed with mono about 6 weeks ago....I am still very fatigued and out of it but my main concern has been the progressive but gradual swelling of the right side of my face and both of my eyes. My forehead has also now started swelling and it is very concerning. I had an MRI done of both my brain and sinuses and it was all good with no signs of tumor or swelling of the brain. Is this normal with mono? And how long until these symptoms will start to fade? thanks

Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr Arun Tank, Infectious diseases specialists, responding to you.

No, such symptoms are not common with mono. You should be thoroughly examined by for such a swelling. Continue the medication prescribed to you till that time. I think it will be a week or that to complete the diagnosis.

I will be glad to answer your further query.
Thank you for your contact to health care magic.
Wish you a best health.
