Suggest Treatment For Headache And Rashes All Over The Body

I had a headache, high fever up to 103 with chills and some diahrea for 8 days. Went to the doctor and was told that it was probably viral and would run its course in 7-10 days. They did run a strep test which came back negative. Fever did finally go away and was doing better, but is now a week later and I have developed lots of spots, rash like on my arms, sides, knees and palms of my hands. Mom says they remind her of measles. Taking benadryl which helps a little. Any idea what it could be. Not sure what to do.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction.

I recommend using antihistamines such as Cetirizine.

I also recommend using Hydrocortisone cream for local application.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
