Haan yaar, mono can absolutely give you a crazy fever. Actually, when my cousin had it last year, his temperature was touching 102 for days. You should rest completely and keep sipping water, don't ignore it if it doesn't go down.
Yes, it really does. When I got diagnosed with mono during college, the fever was the first thing that hit me along with a really bad sore throat. Just take your meds as prescribed and don't push yourself to work or study right now.
I absolutely panicked when my fever wouldn't break for five days straight, I thought it was something way worse. But the doctor reassured me that high fever is actually very typical for mono. It slowly settles down on its own, so please don't stress too much.
Bro, that fever and fatigue is no joke, I slept for like 15 hours a day and still felt dead. Honestly, the temperature just makes u want to hibernate forever. Just hang in there and let your body crash if it wants to.
From what I know, fever is one of the main symptoms of mono. Since our immune systems can be a bit sensitive, it is always better to get a proper blood test done to confirm instead of guessing. Keep your doctor updated about how high the temperature goes.
Yes, the fever and the endless weakness really dragged me down mentally. It was so frustrating being stuck in bed for weeks feeling hot and shivering. Please be gentle with yourself, it takes time to recover but you will get through this phase.
It definitely gives you a fever and leaves you very weak. Along with the doctor's medicine, I used to do warm salt water gargles for the throat and had fresh coconut water daily to stay hydrated. Cold wet cloth on the forehead really helps when the temperature spikes.
