Have Swollen Face And Tonsil Effecting My Swallowing And Breathing. Diagnosed With Mono. Suggestions?
I was diagnosed with mono about a week ago and it keeps getting worse, the whole left side of my face is swollen including my left tonsil which is affecting my swallowing and breathing . My heartbeat is extremely fast and my chest feels constricted when I try to breath deeply. My temp has stayed around 99 to 100, should I go back to the doctor?
