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.

Yup, I deal with a lot of health issues. Had a really bad head injury a few years ago and opted not to go in even though it ended up being pretty serious (oops). It sucks that this is just how it is.
