Signs Early signs or symptoms of mono can be vague, such as headache, chills, easy fatigability, fever and sore throat. Symptoms of nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite and abdominal pain may appear. It is important to remember that you may have any or all of the above signs or symptoms. These tests may not be positive until several weeks after the symptoms arise and, rarely, may remain negative throughout the course of the disease. There is no medication that can cure mono.
Treatment is symptomatic and supportive, since the disease is viral by nature.
Medical supervision and treatment are absolutely necessary. Obtain 10-12 hours of sleep a day. Avoid contact sports. Remain at home if fever develops. Eat a well-balanced diet.
