You cannot reliably test for mono at home
Use an at-home rapid strep test only if a sore throat is present and strep is a concern
Check your temperature with a thermometer
Monitor for common mono symptoms:
Severe fatigue
Sore throat
Fever
Swollen lymph nodes
Swollen tonsils
Headache
Body aches
Avoid contact sports or heavy exercise if mono is possible
Rest and hydrate while monitoring symptoms
Seek a medical test for confirmation
Get medical care urgently if you have trouble breathing, severe throat swelling, severe abdominal pain, or fainting
