Mono: Stay away from your boy or girlfriend for at least 4-6 weeks. Eat proper nutrious meals. Get at least 810 hours sleep. Take multiple vitamins. Set your own pace as to returing to your activities.

Hard to say: Each doc has their own style of practice. Most presenting with an illness would be asked to provide a history, be examined, and have some testing done based on the findings. Afterwards, a basic discussion of findings and plans for care would be discussed.Since lab tests may not be available immediately, sharing these results may require a followup phone call.

Depends on symptoms: Mono is caused by Epstein-Barr virus. Depending on symptoms and physical findings, there may be medicines that can help. The Dr. will advise resting for a few weeks. Anything else depends on exam and symptoms.
