A member asked:

My 14 year old had mono two years ago. she has been chronically ill since with every sore throat and cold that comes along. could this be related?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: The CDC has essentially ruled out the myth of a chronic mono more than a decade ago. Whether the intensity of her illness then and continued poor health relate to a deeper issue is unknown. A thorough evaluation by a pediatric infectious disease specialist may help you sort out her problems and a way to help.
