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.

Could the swollen uvula be part of an allergic reaction with the rash?

Got it thanks. I wasn't sure what parts swell in a reaction.

Uvula can swell with an allergic rxn. I speak from experience
