Sore throat and enlarged tonsils are common symptoms of mononucleosis. They usually subside within several weeks after onset. Rarely, the tonsils can become enlarged to the point where breathing is obstructed, in which case anti-inflammatory steroids or surgery may be required. In the meantime, rest, fluids, and more rest are the best treatments for mono.
