many people have "cold sores" in their past history but do not remember or they went unnoticed as being something else. once you have antibodies for the herpes simplex virus it can reactivate at any time in your life. forever. mono is an entirely different and unrelated virus. mono cannot cause herpes but if a person already has herpes antibodies exposure to an illness or getting an illness could trigger this reactivation response. there can be many reasons for your symptoms so please see your medical provider so you can be properly examined and diagnosed.
