Not sure of the test that was run, took daughter to doctor with a fever of 104 and was told she had strep throat most likley and gave her ammox. to treat it, before the swab came back. Fever continued to spike that evening so I took her to the ER where the doctor took a blood test and came back and told me she tested for Mono, and that it could be a false positive, thereofre to continue with the antibiotics, I asked about the rash as I remember getting one when i was a teenager. He said no it shouldn't be a problem, today it looks as though she has hives from trunk to knees... and I am not sure what to do. Do I call the clinic again and find out what to do? Is there such a thing as false positives>
