Is it allergies or something else?!
Question: Is it allergies or something else.?
so i am no dr. but i have taken enough medical classes to understand some basics. (taking nursing pre-requistes in college)
my throat is swollen, has been for a few months now. the other day was really bad so i went to the dr. it was actually the night time care place. he only spent a minute in the office. (literally) and while he asked me questions he wouldnt let me awnser them. i didnt even get to tell him i noticed white spots on the back of my throat. they come and go. well he said it was allergies (i have never been diganosed). i was almost convinced it was strep throat. my step test came back neg.
was he right.?.? maybe. so then i wake up this morning with a rash/hive looking thing on my thigh. it dissapears. i wake up from a nap with my daughter and i have a patch of hives on my arm.... hummm. you think i might be fighting an infection.?.?.?.?
i have never been dignosed with allergies and this has never happend. i was wondering if it is common with allerges or not.? i am debating on gettin another opinion but i dont have health insurance and strapped for cash.

I'm a nurse and that doctor stinks when it comes to diagnosis. My son had strep many times as a child, we would get a test and many times it came back negative and it would still be strep. Go to a medical doctor other than a clinic, you know that strep is dangerous it can lead to rheumatic fever.... ASAPHealth Question & Answer
