I'm 45 years-old. I've been on antibiotic
for six days for possible strepe. While
the severity of it has lessened, I still
have pain when swallowing and pain and
swelling in my throat and in my glands on
both sides of my neck. Plus I just feel
lousy. I'm pretty sure I'm too old for
Mono, but what else could it be?

The glands might still be swollen as you
are fighting the infection. Generally, I
think it takes 10-14 days of straight
antibiotic to kill the Strep bacteria.
The infection may still be present,
although some symptoms have subsided.
