Rapid Mono Test And Treatment in Houston & Katy, TX At AFC Greenhouse Rd

Mononucleosis, commonly known as mono, is a viral infection that often causes extreme fatigue, sore throat, fever, and swollen lymph nodes. It is most frequently seen in teenagers and young adults, but it can affect people of any age. The symptoms can last for weeks and may interfere with school, work, or daily activities. At AFC Urgent Care Greenhouse Rd, serving Houston & Katy, TX, we provide quick mono testing to help identify the cause of your discomfort. Our medical team is available seven days a week with no appointment necessary.

Top Symptoms Of Mononucleosis

Mononucleosis is often mistaken for other viral illnesses, especially in the early stages. Recognizing the full range of symptoms is important for timely testing and recovery. While some people experience mild symptoms, others may feel unwell for several weeks. Here's what to watch for:

  1. Fatigue: Mono often begins with a deep, ongoing tiredness that doesn’t go away with sleep or rest. This fatigue can interfere with school, work, and regular activities, and may persist even after other symptoms fade.
  2. Sore Throat: A severe sore throat is one of the main signs of mono. It may come with redness, swelling, or white patches on the tonsils and can be mistaken for strep throat. However, unlike strep, mono does not improve with antibiotics.
  3. Fever: Many individuals with mono develop a moderate fever during the initial days of the illness, often accompanied by chills or night sweats.
  4. Swollen Lymph Nodes: The glands in the neck, underarms, or behind the ears may become enlarged and sore to the touch. This swelling is part of the body's immune response to the virus.
  5. Headache and Body Aches: Muscle pain, general weakness, and mild to moderate headaches are commonly reported, especially during the early stages.
  6. Enlarged Spleen: Mono can lead to swelling of the spleen, which may cause discomfort or pain in the upper left side of the abdomen. In such cases, physical activity or contact sports should be avoided to prevent injury.
  7. Rash: In some cases, a mild skin rash may appear, especially if treatment was started before mono was properly diagnosed. This rash is generally harmless and tends to fade on its own within a few days.

Mono Testing Process at AFC Urgent Care Greenhouse Rd

When you come in for Mononucleosis(swab) testing at AFC Urgent Care Greenhouse Rd, our urgent care team follows a clear, step-by-step approach to assess your symptoms, confirm the diagnosis, and guide your care.

  1. Initial Evaluation
    Your visit begins with a review of your symptoms and a physical examination. The provider will check for common signs of mononucleosis, such as swollen lymph nodes, enlarged tonsils, or tenderness in the upper abdomen, which may indicate spleen or liver involvement.
  2. Rapid Mono Swab Test
    Because mono and strep throat often share symptoms like sore throat, fever, and swollen tonsils, we typically begin with a rapid strep test—a quick throat swab used to rule out a bacterial infection. If the strep test comes back negative and symptoms still suggest mono, we may proceed with a mono-specific swab test. This second swab looks for proteins linked to the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), the most common cause of mononucleosis.
  3. Urgent Care Guidance and Symptom Management
    If mono is confirmed, we will give you detailed instructions on how to manage your symptoms. This may include recommending rest, staying hydrated, avoiding strenuous activity, especially if the spleen is enlarged and monitoring for complications.

With walk-in availability, on-site testing, and experienced urgent care professionals, AFC Urgent Care Greenhouse Rd serving Houston & Katy, TX, makes it easier to manage mono without delays. Your care and comfort are our priority every step of the way.
