Could Infection With Flu Cause String In Bowel Movement And Rashes On Legs?
Recently, I had the flu and a sinus infection. During that time, I noticed what appeared to be string in my bowel movement. It happened several times, then went away as I got better. I am now getting flu symptoms again, and have noticed the string in my most recent bowel movement. Simultaneously, I have had a rash appear on both legs. I am a 52 year old female and have been in good health.

I can understand your concern
flu is due to infection of virus ,which may occupy in gastro tract
this cause string like situation in bowel movements.
rash appearance on legs indicate th viral infection in blood
so I would like to suggest once have a test of CBP,ESR, CUE and blood culture .
plz take antihistaminc like atarax 25 for 5 days once daily . antibiotic like azithromycin 500 once daily for 3 days and acecloplus for 3 days .. tab .pan 40 once daily for 5 days.
avoid cold and cold iten , not to roam in overcrowded area
be in isolation room as it spread to other family members ok
don't worry it will subside
once report come consult your family doctor or HCM
continue medication .OK
