Hello all again,

I have a cold now for over 3 weeks.....with a sore throat, coughing, and lots of mucus (sorry! yuck)
I have been on the anti-biotic Ceftin for over 2 weeks now for a suspected sinus infection, but I have this cold and sore throat (with tender swollen glands in my neck) that won't go away. I have been exposed to Mono around 3 weeks ago at a Christmas party (the host of the Christmas party was sick with it and still had the party) - anyway, I have been very tired and have been napping during the day - (I have moved into a new house within the last 2 weeks as well)
Does this sound like I have mono as well? And what are the "tell-tale" symptoms of Mono- Epstein Barr??
And what is the recovery???

PLEASE....can anyone share ANY information that they have???

Thanks,
Stefanie

Dear Stephanie,

I'm no doctor but I do know this: any cold symptoms mean mucous in is the body. One of the best ways to get rid of colds or cold-like alment is to do whatever you can to get rid of mucous. Citrus liquids in the body are vital, such as grapefruit juice (best of them all), pineapple juice (better than orange juice) orange juice and fresh lemonaide is good too. Lots of water, and staying away from mucous formng elements, such as milk, breads etc.
I rarely have colds because I hate mucous. Also a nice warm bath nightly, while inhaling the water vapors. In Russia they do this (it works) because it helps to liquify the mucous in the body, as well as be pleasant for you! Hope you feel better soon.
