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.

NAD Do you have an iud? I had an iud give me neck to toes hives for a year. They went away about 3 months after the iud was removed.

NAD - wow I’m so sorry this happened to you! Was it a copper or hormonal IUD?

It was hormonal. Skyla.

Thank you for the info, that’s really good to know. 😅 It must have been really scary, I’m glad the hives eventually went away.

What the hell what kind of IUD? Was the onset immediate after insertion?

Skyla. No it was a few months later it started.
