Hi,

Welcome to HCM,

I understand your concern regarding your daughters symptoms but her symptoms are typically seen in sinusitis.

Coming to mono it is called infectious mononucleosis which is caused by a virus and usually is asymptomatic in many.

Common symptoms include swelling of lymph nodes,fever and rarely skin rash is seen.

I suggest you wait for the test results before coming to any conclusions.

After confirmation also, only symptomatic treatment is preferred.

Thanks.
