Answers:
Mononucleosis, or mono, is often thought of as the 'kissing disease' and as an infection that only affects teenagers.
Another 'myth' about mono is that someone with mono will be sick for several months.

While you can get mono from kissing, you can also get it from other forms of close contact. also, although many kids do take several months to recover from mono, some are sick for a week or two.

It really is a myth that only teens can get mono, since even toddlers and preschoolers can get it. Most cases of mono do occur in older children though.


Symptoms of Mononucleosis
Kids with mononucleosis typically have with three to five days of mild symptoms such as a headache, malaise, and fatigue. The more classic symptoms of mono then follow and include:
a severe sore throat, with tonsils that are red, enlarged, and covered in pus
swollen glands (lymphadenopathy) in the neck
fever, which can be as high as 104
