I think he got mono.

Mono would make more sense for his timeline. Infectious period is usually the first 10-14 days, so you have to isolate. Time to return to contact is, on average, 3-4 weeks. It all depends on the degree of inflammation/enlargement to the spleen and how long it takes for that to resolve.

If the blood clots are true and they were diagnosed in the last several weeks, then that's not enough time for them to resolve on blood thinners. Blood thinners prevent the clot from getting worse, but they don't dissolve the clot.

The duration of therapy is dependent on if there is a reason for him to clot. If it's an unknown reason, he's condemned to long term, if not lifelong, blood thinners. If there is an underlying reason, then it's at least 6 months of therapy.
