For what length of time do mono symptoms last?

Mononucleosis: If you have mononucleosis the fever usually resolves within about 10 days. Swelling of lymph nodes & organs usually resolves within about a month. You may have fatigue from several weeks to several months.

Varies: Traditional mono is caused by the EB virus.After a primary illness of 2-3 wks(most) to 2-3 mo (few) you are immune and will not get EB mono again. Some common blood tests for this condition will remain positive for years, but not those specific to new infection.There are other germs that can cause a mono syndrome. If you are continuously ill a more thorough evaluation would be wise.
