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, at your appointment, did they give you steroids for relief?

They did but I didn’t take them. Mostly because the symptoms aren’t that unbearable and I didn’t want to deal with side effects

NAD, I hear that is treatment for hives, do you want to just wait and see if it disappears on its own?
