Thanks for contacting Chat Doctor with your medical questions and concerns am sorry to hear that you have mononucleosis and a persistent cough. As you know mono is a viral illness that resembles a cold in many ways. The thing that make it different from most other viral illnesses is that young adults get real tired and that may last for days to weeks. What you may not know is that a few people can get a pneumonia with mono. From your description you may have in addition to mono is pneumonia. I agree with your plan to see your doctor. He can do a chest x-ray and see if you have pneumonia in addition to your mono. Good Luck Hope this answers your medical question. Please contact us again with your health care concerns and questions
