A member asked:

How much time does strep/possibly mono last?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Duration: of illness symptoms depends on appropriate treatment and underlying health status. Strep infections of the throat usually respond to antibiotics within a few days, while symptoms of mononucleosis can last for several weeks.
