A Bad Flu?


Alright, so. My brother was having a sore throat, then he couldn't breath/swallow-so my dad had to take him to the emergency room. The doctor diognosied him with mono. He's taken steroids, vitamins, and ocycodin. Nothing phases him! He's had this for about a week and it's getting worse. What should we do?

Sometimes when I have those same symptoms I have strep throat and need antibiotics. I would get a second doctors opinion.

Wll Antibiotics wont work because mono is a virus, and anti-biotics only working on living things. (antibiotic means aganst life). And a vrius isnt considered living. What I would do is drink plenty of liquids (not soft drinks), get lots of rest, and see a doctor if symptoms don't improve in 3-4 days.
