No: Mono is unlikely but symptoms lasting a month need a thorough reevaluation.

Cold symptoms: You may not have mono, in which case I doubt if your spleen would be involved

Splenomegaly: If you are truly concerned that you have mononucleosis, enlargement of the spleen should be a concern. Not everyone develops splenomegaly, but when it occurs it usually start about two weeks after symptoms of infection develop. An enlarged spleen is usually easy to palpate (feel) by an experienced examiner.
