Q: Mono Or Strep? How Long Will It Last

Hey,
i've had the worst sore throat the past 2 days, my tonsils are all swollen and covered with white puss, but I can't blow my nose or cough up any of it. I hardly sleep or eat... So I went to the doc thinking it was tonsilitus, well that test came back negative and he said it might be mono. He put me on zithromicine, and said if it doesnt clear up in 4 days to come back for amono test. I dont know what it is, but im not any more tired than usual and I feel fine other than everytime I swallow I have the worst pain ever. Has anybody else gotten this? Also, if it is mono, how long is this sore throat gunna last? I honestly dont think I can live with it for much longer... Owwwww

I know this post is way old but I have the exact same thing! My doctor said I tested positive for mono and I probably have strep throat on top of it so i'm taking the antibiotic azithromicine which he also prescribed. How did your case turn out?

mono could last for months?!?!?!
I was just diagnosed with mono this morning! i hear you on the painfull part. For me the pain runs right up to my ears, i even asked if i had an ear infection. (But its just from the swelling on my tonsils. The doc that i went to said there was nothing to take and it would go away on its own.....im thinking about a second opinion. From what i have read it sounds like this pain could go on for a month or more...i would cry but it hurts even more when i cry....
