This is about my healthy 17 year old son.. Day 1 at walk in clinic neg strep test. Given a shot and antibiotics. Day 4 he is worse. Back to clinic. Positive Mono test. Given steroids and Lortab for extreme throat pain. Day 8 pain is no better maybe worse. Saw pediatrician. Given stronger steroids and told to continue antibiotics and that he'd be better tomorrow. Day 10 went to ER for severe throat pain. His tonsils were so swollen they were touching and lymph nodes so big the airway was almost blocked. Admitted to hospital. Spent 2 days and 2 nights in hospital getting IV STEROIDS, PAIN MEDS, and antibiotics. Day 12 came home from hospital. His neck swelling has gone down. Alternating Lortab and Toradol every 3 hours. He still has severe throat pain. Doesn't want to eat or drink because it hurts. Has lost 9 pounds in 12 days. When will this end? It's killing me!
9 days after mono diagnosis my son is still in agony
