Suggest treatment for fever and chest congestion
Patient: I have hadwhat i believe are flu-like symptoms for the past few days which include fever 100-102 which lasted for bout day and a half then non stop congestion for bout 3 days now and most importantly altho ive felt overall better i still feel weak and tired.  my boyfriend caught something called upper respiratory infection and i stayed over his place to help.  we did kiss b/c he was feeling better.  do i have mono? Doctor: Hello. Thanks for asking Healthcare Magic. Infectious mononucleosis (Mono) is an infectious, widespread viral disease most commonly caused by the Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), one type of herpes virus. There are less chances that you have mono because symptoms are thought to appear around 4–6 weeks after initial infection. It can be a bacterial infecction. i would suggest to start with antibiotics and paracetamol for fever. Take rest and have fruits and plenty of fluids. Hope this helps. Thanks and Regards
