Suggest Treatment For Red Blotches On Arms,legs And Chest

I had a persistent fever between 100.3 - 103+ for 8 days, no other symptoms. Went to me doctor, did an x-ray of my lungs, no fluid. All blood work came out negative. Fever broke 1-1/2 days ago. Got a single spike to 100.1, took aspirin, and fever broke. Now have large red blotches appearing on my arms, legs, and chest. I have no other symptoms.

Hi.
As per your case history you may be having either viral exanthem or aspirin induced rash.
My treatment advice is -
1. Drink plenty of water and food rich in vitamin c.
2. Stop aspirin. Its better to take paracetamol for fever instead of aspirin.
3. Take tab. Vitamin c 500mg once at night. Take tab levocetrizine for itching. Apply calamine lotion on skin lesions.

It takes 7-10 days to get full recovery.

Thanks.
