Possible: But if symptoms have cleared so quickly on antibiotics, it may be strep. If you fail to recover, have a mono test down. Just as a caution, some antibiotics will give you a rash with mono. All the best.

Sore throat: I would suggest go ahead with antibiotics for 10 days . The lymph nodes subside in few days . If persist , get checked by the pediatrician again . Unlikely infectious mononucleosis , as this is not the age, course of disease is more chronic .
