A member asked:

Should you skip school if you have mono?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mono: If one has infectious mononucleosis standard precautions are needed. No need to skip school unless feeling very sick and needs to rest. Contact sports to be avoided in case of splenomegaly till it resolves.
