Hey guys, i’m a 22 yr old female and I’ve had mono for 11 days now, and my throat pain is genuinely getting worse every day. I don’t have my tonsils (tonsillectomy at 19), and i took steroids from days 3-8 of mono. I thought the worst of the illness was gonna be over after the fever went away, but the sore throat has been getting worse and worse, and now i can’t swallow without insane pain, sleep, or eat. Advil helps a bit, but I’m wondering if this pain will stop any time soon?? When i look it up it says sore throat gets better after 1-2 weeks… but mine is just getting worse. Pleaseeee help!! Sore throat remedies and life hacks are also appreciated <3
