How to tell if someone has mono?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Honestly, blood test: Honestly, the only accurate means of diagnosing mono (infectious mononucleosis) is by means of a blood test. Certain symptoms suggest the possibility--fever, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, abd pain from a swollen spleen, and unusual tiredness or malaise. Mono can even trigger a rash in some. However, there are many other illnesses that share very similar symptoms. You need to be tested.
