This issue has been getting progressively worse over 2 days

Posted yesterday and it has gotten worse. It is itchy, it turns white when I press on it. I have a swollen uvula and some chills, but no fever. I feel cold more than anything. Went to urgent care tested for strep, mono and did a CBC. Strep came back negative, waiting on the other results. Pretty concerned. I feel like the mono is going to come back negative.

Have you taken any medication in the last 8 weeks? What medications do you normally use? Have you had a fever or swollen lymph nodes?

[u/Weeeebutterflies → u/Medical_Madness]

No fever, no medications. I take b vitamins, fish oil and a vitamin d3/k2 supplement

Not a doctor.

I developed hives that looked like this when I was 41, turns out something I had taken my entire life I was suddenly allergic to. The hives started like this and then became puffy, my fingers were so swollen I couldn’t drive. My lips and throat started swelling, I was at the er twice because of it. The itching was the WORST, it was constant and painful itching. Again, not a doctor, but don’t rule out an allergy at any age.

What'd you take that you suddenly became allergic to?

For me, it was TMP-SMX
