Is it mono or the flu?!?


I have been feeling under the weather for exactly a week now..extremely sore throat, swollen lymph nodes on both sides of the neck and along my jaw, both of my ears are throbbing, fever, extremely fatigued and have aches throughout my entire body. I saw a physician last Thursday and he prescribed me Amoxicillin..I took it as prescribed for 4 days and saw no change, so I contacted him and he prescribed me Zithromax. I am on the third dosage today and the symptoms are just worsening...I am going tomorrow to get blood work taken but I was just wondering what the heck is going on? Any ideas? Thanks for your time.

it may sound like mono. but go back to the dr and get tested for it. Mono is a virus so antibiotics will not get rid of it.
