Is Severe Headache, Fatigue, Dizziness And Sore Throat Symptoms Of Mono?

I'm 14, and have been diagnosed with mono twice in the past two years. My symptoms include severe headache, fatigue, dizziness, sore throat, feeling of swollen neck, and much like mono, my energy decreases with any sort of physical activity, including standing up. Does this seem like mono?

Hi dear! A throat culture maybe taken to rule out a strep throat, which has similar symptoms. Monospot test should be done to identify this virus (EBV) which causes mononucleosis.
Bed rest, use of acetaminophen ibuprofen and take care with periodical controls at your doctor are my advice
