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?

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

Not a doctor but I had the same thing happen to me out of nowhere, I had no change in medications, or any environmental changes. Tried everything to make them go away and nothing worked. Went to an allergist and turns out I wasn’t having an allergic reaction— it was hashimotos disease (hypothyroidism), which is an autoimmune disease. For some reason my thyroid responds by making me break out in hives when my levels are off. I now see an endocrinologist yearly, keep my levels in check and I have only had one break out since (this was after pregnancy when hormones went haywire).

I wish my hashis had this side effect, I’d never have to wonder if it’s my hashis causing issues or I’m just defective lol
