What is the treatment for influenza and red rashes all over the body?
Patient: I have been little sick with some flu for a couple of days about 4 days ago, took lot of vitamin c, about 5000mg a day, because ma friend said, that her doctor recomendet to get better easier, together with cold flu medication and amino acid suply pill, Icq 10, Multivitamin, spoon of flax seed oil organic and lot of vegetables and fruit - thought It is healthy, now I have this alergie like looking pink to dark red rash on my whole body, exept my face and armd. Pretty much everywhere where something touches the skin, when I scratch anywhere, the scratch leaves mark on my body and did not left for last two days...I have been taking benadryl, two days to get it to leave, but don t seem to work. l Doctor: HI, thanks for using healthcare magicThe rash could definitely be an allergic reaction to one of the products mentioned especially if you have not used them before or it can be a viral exanthem which is a rash that is associated with viral infections including the flu.You can continue to use the benadryl  every 6 hours but if there is no improvement, you may need a short course of oral steroids.This would require a prescription from your doctor.I hope this helps
