@julies1949:  It's not uncommon for a doctor to put someone on antibiotics when they have a viral infection.  They do it to prevent secondary bacterial infections from setting in while they are immunocompromised.  So he may be treating her throat as a seperate infection that is secondary to the mono...I used to get strep ALL the time (9 times a year for a couple years running!) so anytime I got fatiged by anything, I would end up on antibiotics becasue the strep would come back full force.  It was never really gone, I was always carrying it somewhere in my body, and as soon as my immune system took a kick, it'd come back. 

OP, We finally found out we had household mold, finally after the basement flooded one spring and I had to move out, we tore off the drywall and it was COVERED in it...and that was causing all kinds of respiratory illness, often with overall fatigue, body aches, mild fever, headaches extreme sore throat and upper respiratory infections.  Honestly, I suffered for 4 years, within 2 months of moving out, I was like a new person.  My old roommate still lives there and suffers illness every few weeks...Have you had your household air quality checked?

@jesleigh:  Yeah, and it's so often overlooked too!  The headaches were the biggest thing for me, every day.  I;d go away for a few days, and I'd feel better then go home and get sick agian.  I was too dense to realize it, but once we discovered the mold, it all clicked.  I was moving out anyways, so once I left I never went back into the house and it was a huge relief.  I haven't had strep since, and that was almost 3 years ago.
