Q: Stomach Swelling?

I know that mono can cause your spleen to swell, but is that actually visible from the outside of your body? Im a very petite girl, so it looks strange to have such a large stomach..Its weird looking too, like from my hipbones down it looks like there is a balloon stuck there..?

My neck and my stomach both got swollen at the same time, and both are still very swollen..Ive had mono for 3 weeks now, is this normal? Is there anything I can do to make the swelling go away?

The swelling on your neck is just your lymph nodes (don't worry my neck was like that just last week) it'll go away. If your spleen/liver is swollen you should go to the doctor so it doesnt erupt. Try not to physicaly overdo your self and rest.
