mono
I think I may have mono. Some girl at school has it and me and her drank from the same drink and I haven't felt so great since. I'm really tired. What are the symptoms? Should I tell my mom? (She'd really flip) What do I do to get rid of it?
I'll rate.

aw i had mono over the summerr .. you'll feel reallyy tired and cold. i'd be in sweatpants and a sweatshirt, socks and under like a million blankets and still be freezing my ass off. stick out your tongue reallyyy far in the mirror .. there's gona be white bumps all over your tongue (mostly near the back) you'll feel really weak and i think i had a fever? i can't remember though. i had it for sixteen days .. people usually get it for like a month more or less, so i guess you could say i got lucky? haha. but yeah. go to the doctor b/c you might just have strep. oh yeah and your tonsils will be madd swollen and you can see them when you open your mouth. uh yeah tell your mom b/c you need medecinee& stufff. look up more symptoms on the internett b/c i don't remember everythingg. ♥

i'm just recovering from mono. usually you have symptoms close to strep throat. there is no medicine that really cures it; it just has to go away on it's own. so if you go to the doctor; they will tell you you have mono, and that's about it. your mom shouldn't flip out if you explain to her that you got it from drinking after a girl with mono, not from kissing. here's some symptoms and some things you can do to help it. but i really suggest telling your mom and going to a doctor.
symptoms:
fever
sore throat
headaches
white patches on the back of your throat
swollen glands in your neck
feeling tired
not feeling hungry
stuff to help (if your doctor says you have it):
Rest.
Drink plenty of fluids.
If you have a sore throat, gargle with salt water, or suck on throat lozenges, hard candy or flavored frozen desserts (such as Popsicles).
You may want to take acetaminophen (one brand name: Tylenol) or ibuprofen (some brand names: Advil, Motrin, Nuprin) to relieve pain and fever.
hope i helped. you really need to tell your mom and go to the doctor, though! it can take 2 weeks to 6 whole months to get better.

Hey,
Ya, you can get it from someone. Even drinking after them. Go to the doctor and get medicine for it. It's preventable.
Good Luck,

The main symptom is just being really tired. You get flu-like symptoms you are just really tired as well. Tell your mom that you are just not feeling good. If she wants to take u to your dr. and they suspect mono, they will do a blood test. Blood tests are about the only thing that can tell if you have it. You cant do much to get rid of it unless you know that it IS mono. Your best bet is to go get it checked out. Mono could take up to 8 weeks to show symptoms so your mom shouldnt get mad. That would be stupid, you didnt know that your friend had mono. Good luck. =)

well my brother has had mono twice now, and both times he got it from someone else by drinking the same drink. The sympotoms are mostly tiredness, you are tired all the time and just want to sleep. You can't do anything to get rid of it either, you have to go to the doctor thats the only way. So tell your mom, tell her that you didn't know that she had it. If she does get mad, try to explain to her that you got it from drinking someone elses drink! hope this helps.

being tired is the biggest. sore throat, swollen glands and fever.
yes you should really tell your mom.
theres nothing you can do to get rid of it. lots and lots of rest is needed.
You should see a doctor to confirm if you have mono. (blood tests) then if you do have it, you wont be allowed to do anything for at least 2-3 weeks. Especially if your spleen is enlarged.
You will have to go back to the doctor to be rechecked after the 2-3 weeks.
Trust me, youll know you have mono after you start feeling tired, because thats all your gonna want to do is sleepppppp!!!
Its very contigous.

♥ Deffinetely tell your mom.
Mono spreads so easily. My friend has it & her doctor said she has to stay home from school for 3 weeks because its so contagious. So again, tell your mom ♥

Yeah, it's really contagious. You get really, REALLY tired when you have mono and you don't feel like doing anything. YOu should really tell your mom, just don't tell her that you drank out of a drink that came from a girl who has mono and she'll never know.
