Hello. Thanks for asking Healthcare Magic. Infectious mononucleosis (Mono) is an infectious, widespread viral disease most commonly caused by the Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), one type of herpes virus. There are less chances that you have mono because symptoms are thought to appear around 4–6 weeks after initial infection. It can be a bacterial infecction. i would suggest to start with antibiotics and paracetamol for fever. Take rest and have fruits and plenty of fluids. Hope this helps. Thanks and Regards
