Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, 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.
