A member asked:
I'm taking azithromycin for mono and pneumonia, but now i have pain from my fingers to my arm on the left side, & a cold sweat. should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Give it time.: Since mono is caused by a virus, the Azithromycin was prescribed for the pneumonia. The pain in your left upper extremity and the cold sweat more than likely symptoms of the mono, though pneumonia could also result in a cold sweat. Unless you have shortness of breath, pain out of proportion, or rapid deteriorating health, complete the antibiotic course and follow-up with your prescriber.

I had Mono at 19. Since then I've had a string of swollen, hard lymph nodes under my right arm. Twice in my life the largest one (.5cm) would swell, get a little red and tender for a few weeks, then calm again. I'm 58 now. Should I be concerned?
Warm redness on upper left arm. Comes and goes, mainly at night. No bumps, just shoulder pain. Have mono right now, but it's only this one spot?
