Suggest Treatment For Sore Lumps On The Leg

My body was achy for a couple days for no reason. Then i noticed how sore i was in all my joint areas. I felt like i was running a fever a couple times but nothing since. I do have a few red lumps that have come up on my left leg. none on my right. The lumps are mostly sore to the touch but the one that is on the back of my leg is itchy. My legs dont ache today. It is my wrists, fingers, elbows and shoulders that are aching bad. This all happened all of a sudden. Any thoughts? Thanks so much. Jennifer

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI,
Generalised body ache and joint pain of sudden onset with fever and rash is highly suggestive of a viral infection. Nothing to worry about it. You may treat symptomatically with pain killers like diclofenac for body ache and t. Paracetomol 500mg/650mg 1 tab every 6 hours for 2-3 days. If symptoms worsen or fever persists for more than 5 days, then you will have to consult a doctor in town and get your blood work up done. Take adequate rest and drink plenty of water. Avoid mosquito bites. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Regards
Dr. Jeffrey
