When To Call A Professional

Call your doctor if you develop the symptoms of mononucleosis. If you have been diagnosed with mononucleosis, contact your doctor immediately if your breathing becomes difficult or noisy, if you experience intense pain in the upper left side of your abdomen, or if your symptoms seem to be getting worse instead of better after one to two weeks.

Prognosis

Most patients with mononucleosis recover completely. About 10% of people with mononucleosis develop strep throat (a bacterial infection) that needs to be treated with antibiotics.
