My 15 year old was diagnosed with strep throat after 4 days of high fever. She took antibiotics for 10 days, but continued to run periodic fever. I took her back to the doctor and asked to test for mono. It was positive. Fortunately, I had started her on Emergen C when her symptoms first began. She never felt overly tired. Once we had the diagnosis of mono, we added anti viral herbs like astralagus & Echinacea/Goldenseal, garlic capsules & coconut oil capsules. Throughout the whole illness, she has been able to function pretty normally. The doctor was shocked as her appetite & energy levels have stayed steady. He could not feel any significant swelling of her spleen. I definitely credit these supplements for keeping her going these last few weeks of school.
