Who have you been kissing my good man?

made out with a random chick on friday, but i was fine on saturday. I think it was from drinking too much this weekend and the constant 2nd hand smoke from my friends. dried it out or something idk.

Yes, go to the doctor and have them test you for mono. If antibiotics don't help, then that's probably what it is.

I had a horrible sore throat two years ago and thought it was strep too. My throat closed up. So originally the doctor said it was tonsillitis and put me on antibiotics. Four days in and nothing changed. Yup, it was mono. That SUCKS. So get checked. :)

In the waiting room to get blood drawn for mono right now. How long did yours take to go away?

It took about a month to feel betterISH. It lingered for three months. I took Clindamycin for 10 days and steroids for 2 weeks.

The sore throat was the first thing to go but then I had a cough for weeks and my entire body ached so bad.
