Rashes On Ankles, Spreading To Knees, Headache, Neck Stiffness, Low Grade Fever. Remedy?

I have a rash that started on my ankles and is spreading up my legs to the knees. Blood tests have ruled out Rocky Mountain spotted fever and my WBC count is fine. A few days prior to the rash I was experiencing neck stiffness and headaches and a low grade fever periodically. I still get the headaches but the neck stiffness has improved as has the fever.

HI
Thank for choosing HCM
The first possibility would be viral fever, supportive =, symptomatic management would give relief, if after few days condition becomes worse then further investigation would be needed, for the supportive and symptomatic medicine, you can take any antipyretic agent with second generation antihistamine, do not try steroids, if it is viral infection the this will take at least week or ten days for cure, have nice day.
