Suggest Treatment For Cold, Cough And Swollen Tonsils Along With Itchy Rash
Brief Answer:
viral exanthem
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Most likely you have gotten a viral upper respiratory infection. There is commonly a rash that goes with this called a viral exanthem. It will leave once the infection passes.
If you have fever, severe sore throat, productive cough or shortness of breath you should see a doctor right away.
Otherwise the antihistamine is good for the itching with the rash and may help some with runny nose if you have that.
Drink plenty of fluids and take the antihistamine daily. If you develop new symptoms or are not getting better in 7-10 days then see a doctor.
I hope you are better soon,
Dr. Robinson
