Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
I understand your concern regarding your daughters symptoms but her symptoms are typically seen in sinusitis.
Coming to mono it is called infectious mononucleosis which is caused by a virus and usually is asymptomatic in many.
Common symptoms include swelling of lymph nodes,fever and rarely skin rash is seen.
I suggest you wait for the test results before coming to any conclusions.
After confirmation also, only symptomatic treatment is preferred.
Thanks.
