Answers:
Steroids work fast (I presume prednisone)!. It is an anti infalmmatory and will not fight the infection!. Mono is cause by EBV (epstein-barr virus)!. So anti-virals may help, antibitotics would only stop a secondary infection!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
I was prescribed steroids for tonsilitis once, they took effect the next day!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
