Hi, I Am Sick With An Infection, As There Is
Question: Hi,
I am sick with an infection, as there is an obvious, large infection site on my body, specifically, my back. I took a Covid 19 test on 08-11-20 as soon as the feverss started and results came back as negative so it is not CV-19.
Symptoms are fevers ranging from 101.7 to 99.9 for the last five to six days. No cough. Headaches and extreme fatigue and soreness. I'm concerned if my body is fighting off poison from a bacterium of some sort.
My theory is that a dormant Epstein Barr came up to be pushed out from a stress induced event, but that's my mind going theorizing, I'm no doctor. The large bump, about 6

Brief Answer:
Please complete the query.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It is not a sure sign of EBV and we can not conclude a diagnosis of EBV by this symptoms alone.
Most probably it will be a simple viral infection.
You can take over the counter available paracetamol for symptomatic relief. Drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated.
The symptoms are unlikely consistent with a focus of infection.
You have mentioned about a lump, details of which are missing from the query. Kindly complete it.
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks

Hi and thank you!
I went to an urgent care and it is a cellulitis streptococcus skin absess.
I had it drained and cleaned and prescribed a round of antibiotics called Augmentin.
Thank you so much for your time. Hopefully, I am on the mend.
