Hi, I'm 18, 5'2'', 100 pounds with a not so strong immune system and I was told I have mono. I've been sick for exactly a week now with all the works: fever, body aches, sweating, nausea, heart racing, abdominal pain, barely able to swallow or stay awake for very long, etc... I was told it takes 2-3 weeks to start feeling better.... but my tonsils that were once completely covered in white- Well, the white flakes off into my mouth when I cough now. I was wondering if it's okay if I scrape the white off my tonsils or if I should just leave things be?Also, I was told there is nothing I can do to treat mono and I'm really struggling with it right now. It's seriously making me have a mental breakdown during the nights cause I'm so uncomfortable that there is no "right" position to even sleep in. Everything just hurts and I sweat, my heart throbs... Just no fun. Sometimes pain killers don't even help. I've even been to the hospital twice and they all said there was nothing they could do and sent me home as I was. Is there really nothing I can do to ease the symptoms up even just a bit? What do I do?
