A member asked:
I was diagnosed with mono yesterday. is it normal for my tonsils to completely turn white?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Mono may begin slowly with fatigue, a general ill feeling, headache, and sore throat. The sore throat slowly gets worse. Your tonsils become swollen and develop a whitish-yellow covering. Often, the lymph nodes in the neck are swollen and painful.
