15 Early Warning Signs and Symptoms of Mononucleosis

Loss of Appetite

Loss of appetite is a common sign of mononucleosis as well. Due to the extreme fatigue and swollen neck glands, and sore throat, you can feel too tired to drink or eat. This can happen even during the early stages of the condition. Perhaps you do not want to chow down something during the day. However, it is still important to drink a lot of fluids because dehydration can lead to more severe complications. If you experience a sudden loss of appetite and notice other typical mononucleosis symptoms, inform your healthcare provider immediately to get a diagnostic test. [6]
