What Causes Prolonged Sore Throat?
About two weeks ago, I noticed a prolonged sore throat and went to the doctor to check it out. He claimed I had mono, though I didn t show any similar symptoms (fever, spleen enlargement, flu-like symptoms, etc.) besides the sore throat. I have felt fine since besides pain in my throat after I wake up in the morning and some pain where I think the tonsils are (the area is veiny and red). Ideas?
