Hello,
Thank you for contacting HCM
I understand your concern, I am Dr Arun Tank, Infectious Disease Specialist answering your query.

Infectious mono nucleosis is no the chronic condition it only last for the one to two weeks thereafter it will disappear in 95 % of the people.

In remaining 5 % of people complication can arise.

Your fatigue and complication has nothing to do with mono infection.

The reason for it is something different. I advice you to take paracetamol under your doctors guidance. Doing exercise can help you better feeling.
