acute and chronic(when hives persist for more than 6 weeks). The most likely triggers for acute urticaria are allergies to pets, horses, latex and foods, such as shellfish and nuts,bee or wasp stings,allergies to medicines,Viral infections, such as glandular fever and herpes, dental and sinus infections, fungal infections, blood transfusions and vaccines.
The cause of chronic urticaria is often more difficult to identify.

Went to out of hours dr following day who gave me 10 days penicillin V and told me to get blood test for glandular fever which I did 3 days ago and am awaiting results. However 2 days ago I started getting small blisterlike sores on soft palate and tonsils which are difficult to see but can be felt with tongue and are patchy red and feel like burning and make it difficult to swallow. I also have an ulcer on my right tonsil which looks exactly like a normal mouth ulcer.
Hi, I'm a 29 year-old male. I had glandular fever (mononucleosis) last week, so my immune system has been down for a while. I'm HIV+, I'm taking treatment and my last labs indicated that I was UD (CD4 aprox. 800) back in May. In the last 3 months I've had protected/unprotected sex with 5 persons. Before being diagnosed with Glandular fever, I was treated with Ceftriaxone and Azithromycin (for 5 days) because drs thought I had strep throat.

Take some antihistaminics like Benadryl and apply the steroid cream. You can also apply calamine lotion as it helps in soothing the skin.
This lasted until at least the 5th august. I was tired, had headaches, swollen glands and fever. I assumed it was Glandular Fever but tested negative.
After a few trips to the doctors and the hospital the doctor assumed do to my high levels of infection in blood that it was most likely a bacterial infection of an unknown cause so I was prescribed antibiotics. After a couple of days on antibiotics my fever and headaches went away although I was still tired for a few days.
Ever since I was diagnosed with glandular fever(mono) about 3 months ago now, nothing has been quite right with me since and I have this recurring rash whenever I do anything physical or sit in the cold too long. It's bizarre because I can get it even from taking a 5 minute walk. I thought it may have been a heat/sweat rash but I don't get it in the shower. It only stays for about half an hour but I get it all over my body and my body turns red and hot.
Just talking about the fact, For most of ARS , fever rash seem to come and go together, but mine fever comes 7 days earlier than rash. And rash (no itchy) lasts one month and much better rash (itchy) continues. How about that?
Could anyone just let me know if the described symptoms are typical ARS or not?
Because your symptoms came on very quickly, makes me wonder you if in fact you have glandular fever. Anyone can get glandular fever by kissing a carrier. This is a virus and needs to run its course.
If you do find that your throat starts to close up and you have difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately. My son had mono and was extremely ill had difficulty breathing and his throat was covered with white plaques.
t have a high fever, severe headache, chills, muscle aches, and vomiting, jaundice, red eyes, abdominal pain, or diarrhea (thank you Wikipedia), but I do have this REALLY REALLY annoying itchy rash. He gave me a shot, which made it go away for the evening (I then went home and slept for 10 hours...), two types of pills, and a lotion to apply. It's been just over 24 hours since started treatment, but it doesn't seem to be subsiding; if anything, it is getting worse.
Ideas? Thoughts?
However for your information recurrent or chronic fever is seen in tuberculosis, SLE, rheumatoid arthritis, Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) and other auto immune disorders, UTI, drug fever, glandular fever, otitis media, IBS, HIV, STDs, endocarditis, parasitic infestations, fungal infections, lymphomas and other cancers etc.
Hope this helps. Do let me know if there is any thing else and keep me posted. Take care!
Dr following day gave me 10 days penicillin V and told me to get tested for glandular fever which I did and am awaiting results. However 5 days ago I started getting small blisterlike sores on soft palate and tonsils which are difficult to see but can be felt with tongue and are patchy red and feel like burning and make it painful to swallow. I also have an ulcer on my right tonsil which looks like a normal mouth ulcer.
I also experienced night sweats. About 2 days into the fever i got a rash on my elbows, which proceeded to spread up the back of my arms, and I had a few little spots of it on my chest and stomach. The rash was flat, none itchy and blotchy and was symettrical (the same on both sides of my body). The rash stayed for about a week and a half, and then started to fade slowly for another week or so. The fever lasted about a week in all and the night sweats stopped after bout a week and a half.
Pityriasis rosea is a common human skin disease which presents as numerous patches of pink or red oval rash. The rash may be accompanied by low-grade headache, fever, nausea and fatigue and itching. Topical and oral steroids are needed. Water, sweat, and soap may cause irritation and should be avoided in the disease. Topical zinc oxide and calamine lotion are useful for pruritus.
The next day I was extremely tired and cold, i left from work and came home and took my temp. it was 102.7 I took some motrin and it went down. No rash only a fever and a little light headache, I had a stiff neck only in the morning, probably because I was in bed for a few days and had my pillows kind of high up. I went to the doctor Monday on the 28th of December because my fever would go up and down. Never went over 102.7.
t doing enough. The last course was cut short because a blood test showed I have glandular fever. My asthma has been very calm for years, last major attack was about 4 years ago due to hamster babies. I feel kinda odd about the whole situation, because as soon as the phrase glandular fever fell, that was it. I was told to rest, and wait it out. No one mentioned the chest infection or the asthma.
Viral exanthems may be due to Ebstein Barr virus, enteroviruses, and measles. The rash of scarlet fever may be itchy and appear primarily in the chest and trunk.Drug allergies may present as rash.Another rash of unknown cause is pityriasis rosea which may involve the extremities and innner arms and thighs.
I suggest you seek consult with your internist or dermatologist. I have just given a run down of possible differentials that you may discuss with your physician.

In your case the bee sting can be responsible for these hives. The mainstay of treatment of hives is antihistamine which may be necessary for prolonged periods (in excess of 6 weeks).
