Thanks for your query,
The symptoms you mention make me suspicious of a viral fever , since the Measles which often presents this way is been ruled out, I think of the Influenza virus being the likely possibility here.
These infections are self limiting needing no specific treatment , only when with severe symptoms symptomatic treatment involving anti-histaminics like Benadryl and anti-inflammatories like Ibuprofen can be employed.
To ascertain the fact about having the viral fever there are no reliable tests available except Platelet count which is most of times reduced due to viral infection.
The above medications will surely help you , the disease symptoms will exist for 7 to 10 days for sure could only be brought to some extent by above medications.
If the symptoms get more severe then you my be needing cover antibiotics as the viral infections are known to reduce the immunity to some extent making you susceptible to bacterial infections.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any follow up queries I will be available to answer them.


Do you need more information about my history?

Thanks for following me up,
It would be helpful if you can describe the rash in detail or even mail me the images to YYYY@YYYY .
I will surely advice on the Epsom salt bath once i get a clear idea about the rashes and the possible virus involved here.
Will wait for the information.



I had a look over the images.
I still do consider them to be caused by viral infection, to be specific i would consider the Dengue as a possible cause of such typical rashes and symptoms which you have.
I suggest you to get a platelet count and Dengue IgM test done.If its done in the earlier set of test i would ask you to wait for another two days and repeat the test.As some delayed test responses are common in Dengue.
Wishing you Good health.
