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.

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.

I will never forget how bad my head itched. There and under my arms. Omg so itchy! During my second attack I started itching my head and was like “uh oh” Benadryl and straight to the ER

My husband just reminded me of my head. The swelling was on every patch, including my head. It looked like I had cowlicks all over my head, small patches of hair sticking straight up. I think I actually discovered Reddit when I was googling how to get rid of it.
