Have Rash On Hands, Arms, Leg And Feet With Burning And Itching. Had Sore Throat And Fever. Remedy?

I started out a couple of weeks ago with a sore throat and laryngitis, which then turned into bronchitis-type symptoms (cough, fever). The fever lasted over a week, then suddenly I developed a rash on my hands, arms, legs, feet and chest. It was mostly small red spots, but there were also large red blotches that were hot to the touch and some that resembled scratches. The rash cleared up but the fever continued. I was put on antibiotics and on the third day, the spotted rash returned, this time with an intolerable burning and itching. I was prescribed a second type of antibiotics from the same family, but am afraid to take them in case I am having an allergic reaction to the first antibiotics. Nothing relieves the itching and burning

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Throat pain with infection in larynx,
dry cough,
fever,
eruption of rashes ,
All above mentioned symptoms are suggestive of allergic bronchitis with super added infection.
Due to this infection there was laryngitis , hence fever.
Rashes appear before use of any antibiotics so chances of URTICARIA is there.
Rashes present all over body and fades after two three days.
Reappear when antibiotics started for fever, but that was a coincidence.
Reason of urticaria are many but few of them are,
Mite,
dust,
pollen,
hay,
fine powder,
cold,
sudden ride or fall of temperature,
In sect bite.
So please get in blood examination for eiosinophils count ( increases in allergy).
Consult a physician and have a treatment.
Till antihistamine and mild degree bronchodilator will provide relief.
Hope I have answered your query.
If further any question I will help.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
