A member asked:
What is the youngest age you can get mono?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Mono: Mono is a virus like so many others you or your child may get. The classic image of mono as the " kissing disease" is simply not true- children of any age can get mono. My own daughter got it at 4 years.

Infancy: Mononucleosis can happen in infancy and is often no more intense than many of the other viral illneses they will experience. When they do have it, they develop immunity against later recurrences.
