I hope your daughter feels better soon! I had mono second semester freshman year, and a couple weeks into the torture I got strep too. I’d suggest she gets a thermometer to monitor any fever, and lots of fluids like gatorade and tea (maybe make a big thermos of it at a time so it’s easy). I didn’t miss any classes, just went to school in a daze for about a month. Did sleep any time I wasn’t in class though!

Hopefully she has some roommates that can keep an eye on her. But, every case is different so who knows when she’ll be feeling better. The fatigue seemed to last months for me.
