Infectious Mono: Infectious Mononucleosis is very common in adolescents, your age and symptoms match closely to IM. IM is a viral infection, no specific treatment needed. Rest, fluids, Ibuprofen as needed, avoid contact sports for 4 weeks. If symptoms worsen, you will need some tests to confirm the diagnosis, go to the nearest ER if necessary.
