What is the most common cause of difficulty swallowing in 15-17 year olds i was told mono?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difficulty swallow: The most common reason that i see for difficulty swallowing in teenagers is tonsillitis. Tonsillitis is quite common and can occur from viral or bacterial infection. A tonsil infection is quite common with mono, which is a viral infection, but bacterial tonsillitis is far more common than mono. Either way, it isn't much fun.
