Suggest treatment for fever with muscle pain
Patient: I am a 37 year old female. I had a fever last weekend for 2 days with no other syptoms except extreme muscle aches in my back; it went away but now almost 6  days later I have developed a red rash on my arms, legs, buttocks and stomach. The rash is not raised and doesn't itch for the most part (my skin feels slightly tight). Could this be related to the fever. I have used no new products etc that could cause an allergic reaction. Is there a virus or such going around that cause a high fever and muscle aches followed by a rash a few days after the fever? Doctor: Thanks for posting your query to HCM .As I undersand you are concern about your  rash . but befor suggesting treatment I want to know what medication have you had during fever episode , are you still on some medicaion or not .rashes are painful or painless , rashes are present on both side of body or only on one side .Present complaint could be allergic or may be due to viral illness. But as there is no associated fever and body ache so chances of infection are least but we canno ignore it .So I suggest you to do only one test 1.Complete blood count .and if possible send me picure of your rash .and meanwhile you can take antiallergic medicine Loraadine 10mg once at night for syymptomatic releif .review me afeter required detail .thank you .
