Q: Questioning Diagnosis

Hello, I am a 27 yo male. About 4 weeks ago on a business trip I felt bad, went to the doctor and they told me it was dehydration. Kept going back every week because I didn't feel better. Finally I got a positive monospot test the day before I left. This was almost 2 weeks ago, so I was sick for approx 2 weeks before and have been so since i've been home. However I didn't have much of the classic mono signs apart from alot of fatigue and a slight sore throat with a slight temp which has since gone down. I went to the Dr. Today and found liver function normal, wbc elevated but still within norm range as well as high norm rbc.Platelets are in the mid norm range. Neutrophile and monocyte are both high but lymphocyte is low norm. Is this normal blood work for infectious mono, or more specifically does this sound familiar to anyone? I still am very run down as well. What would be some red flags to watch out for in everyone's experience?

I am concerned because I have been sick off and on for the past year but was always told it's a common virus. But the same thing over and over is a little troublesome to me. Depending on what kind of feedback I get here I am going to get a second opinion. Hopefully i'm just worrying because I am stuck at home with the internet, lol. Anyway I deeply appreciate any guidance on this and wish everyone well!!
