Suggest Treatment For Fever,chills,purple Rashes On The Arms And Headache

Hi! I had a 39.6 deg C fever last Tuesday accompanied c headache and chills. The next morning, I felt fine, took a cold bath and went straight to duty. The next day, I noticed reddish/purplish rashes on my arms and legs. The rashes on my legs are starting to fade but rashes on the dorsal and palmar aspect of my hands are starting to appear and they re kinda itchy. I also noticed that when i take a very deep breath it doesn t feel normal but not painful. Should i be worried with the rashes?

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have fever, chills, purple rashes on the arms and headache which is because of viral infection to your body and impaired immunity of your body. It could be mono but symptoms are more of viral infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start with course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. You should take combination of amoxiclav along with levocetirizine. Avoid taking cold beverages. Keep sipping lukewarm water whole day. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start proper course of antibiotics. Steam inhalation is another treatment option for resolving it. Do warm saline gargles 3-4 times a day with lukewarm water. Take diet rich in fruits rich in vitamin C as it will boost his immunity.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
