A member asked:

Sick for 2 weeks now. throat so bad appeared to be mono (tests show it's not). blood count normal. what's wrong?

Ask your doctor: There are many causes of a sore throat. If you have been tested for mononucleosis you have seen a doctor, so go ask that doctor what he/she thinks you have. Perhaps you have sinusitis and allergies with post-nasal drip. Perhaps you have some other kind of infection. Only your doctor (or another who sees you) can figure this out.
