Leaving For A Vacation. Have Cold-like Symptoms. On Dayquil. Took Preworkout. Have Inflammation In Skin. Feel Weak In Joints. Allergic Reaction?

Hello i am a 25 year old male and i am leaving for a vacation trip to Hawaii tomorrow. I felt some cold-like symptoms so i took dayquil earlier today. Then tonight before my workout i took two scoops of my preworkout and started to experience inflammation in my skin (arms, knees, face) and weakness in my joints. Is this a possible allergic reaction ?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that it is an allergic reaction. Rash is one of the most common symptom of an allergic reaction. The rash is normally itchy and red.

It should respond to the use of oral antihistamine which can usually be obtained over the counter.

In terms of the cough and cold, there are over the counter medications that may help to reduce the symptoms.This may involve the use of antihistamine, decongestants and possibly a cough suppressant.
Fluids and rest would also be important.

I hope this helps
