Can Fever, Chills, Body Aches And Weakness Be Due To Cowpox?
Hi Doctor, I am a 22+ female and consume milk that comes directly from a local dairy without any processing to eliminate the germs that it may contain. Two days earlier I had fever with chills, body ache and weakness and now I am having small red spots all over my face and some on my arms and also sore throat. I doubt if it is cowpox. Would like to invite suggestions from you to confirm the disease, my diet and living habits to get over the disease efectively and also I would like to know the possible threats the disease has and its normal duration.

Hello,
It's a viral fever, because cowpox is not possible, and not curable, but the disease is self-limiting, In cowpox lesion will appear, and it will heal within ten to twelve weeks, but the patient left with scars, so, mostly its a viral fever, just follow the routine treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Khalid
