Personally, I would lay off the tylenol, and take ibuprofen. It's easier on the stomach, yet still reduces fever, inflammation and pain.

Keep drinking fluid, of course. But above all, rest.

Try and see if you can just get some simple foods to stay down. Bread, rice, stuff like that.

Get well, hun.
 
A girl at work is getting over mono and her doctor said that it sometimes takes 2-3 months to get back to feeling normal. Stay the course with the meds and rest as much as possible. Give it 5-6 days and if you feel the same go back to the doctor. If you start feeling worse go back now or to the emergency room.
 
Yeah, Mono is no fun at all. Also often confused with mono is CMV. It has mono like symptoms, but far more lingering. CMV is sexually transmitted although can be caught other ways too.

As for the Strept throat... that can really wear you down too. It usually starts with the headache/fever, along with nausea and loss of appetite. Then you will notice that your glands on the side of your neck are swollen. Sore throat pain can be mild to horrible.

You of course did the right thing by going to your Doctor. If the Strep test came back positive, then the antibiotics will do the trick. They make you take them for ten days usually to make sure it's gone.

As for why you still feel like crap, it could be that your immune system still hasn't recovered from the Mono.

CMV will make you feel like crap for several months, often you will still feel weak for a year even.

Drinks lots of fluids, take a multi-vitamin pill if you aren't eating much. Get at least 8 hours sleep if you can.
 
Sorry you're feeling this, buddy.

When I get a really sore throat from the cold and such, I find the best way to deal with the pain it to alternate Ibuprophen and Tylenol. Like, if the tylenol says to to take every 4-6 hours, I'll usually take an ibuprophen in it's place the next time I'm due to take something. The tylenol will take care of the pain, and the IB will take care of swelling as well as the pain. And as LooseLiam said, it will help keep the fever down.

Also, make sure you take your full course of antibiotics. As a MedLab student, it irks me when people don't take their full course. We have enough super bugs as it is!

As te others have said, drink plenty of fluids. If you're a tea drinker, have some of that. The warmth on the throat will help to.

Hope you feel better soon!
 
I'm sorry to hear your not feeling well and about the guy you were dating. I'm just getting over a bad cold. School starts and I get sick!
 
Garlic and tea? The best of both worlds! Mmmmm - garlic!

Anyhoo, I hope you're feeling better, Antares.
