What causes itchy rashes on the body along with diarrhea, cold sweats and nausea?
Patient: My son is 16 yrs old. This morning he woke up with a itchy rash all over his body.Now he is complaining that he has diarrhea, cold sweats, and nauseated.Took him to the doctor this morning, but they didnt know what was wrong.They gave him a Z pack steroids meds to take.Any suggestions? Doctor: HI, thanks for using healthcare magicThe most likely cause is a viral illness. Many viral infections can be associated with a skin rash, called viral exanthem which normally resolves with or soon after the other viral symptoms.Viral infections can cause diarrhea, nausea and cold sweats. In some persons, antibiotics such as the z pak may worsen diarrhea and nausea though this may not be the case for himI hope this helps
