the doc ddn't help much so I'm asking you guys.

[Krystal_Ivy]

so I went to the doc and he didn't really know what was wrong

here are my symptoms: (I've had them since sunday)

 

headaches

alot of pain behind the eyes (hurts when I move my eyes to look around)

disoriented/dizy/equilibrium is off

HORRIBLE throat pain that started this morning

achy body

swollen lymph nodes behind my ears

a temerature of 101.5

 

so the doc said it may be strep throat but he swabed and it came back negative (even though he says my throat is REALLY swollen

then he said it may be mono. basically he said it could be a viral infection or something...

Can anyone help???

[HappyAsALark]

Sounds like mono to me.

[Cimmie]

mononucleosis at a guess. It makes you feel very peculiar in the early stages. The swollen glands would indicate it.

 

Your doctor should take a blood test to check for it. You should take it VERY easy.

What you have described is indicative to hundreds of possible ailments, ranging for minor to severe. Let the doctors do their thing and try to solve this.

hard to take it very easy when I'm going back and fourth to school everyday I just started monday

[StarLily]

Yeah I had those exact symptoms...

My doc told me it was a possible mono... but gave me antibiotics until she could make sure. I felt better the next day...

So yeah it could be mono or could be some stupid bacterial infection. Did your doctor gave you medicine? Can you go to a different doctor?

[kellbell]

I also think it may be mono. Did the doc do any blood tests?

I got no anti-biotics.

[kellbell]

If it is mono, antibiotics will not help. Mono is a virus, antibiotics are for bacterial infections.

It does sound like mono but you need a second opinion from a doctor.

Yes, get a second opinion-- and do it asap! Also, don't self-medicate.
