Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat, Fever And Skin Rashes
Hello. My wife is suffering from a severe sore throat, fever skin rash on arms upper leg and body. And joint pain in her elbows neck and knees. She went to the clinic and they gave her an antibiotic and said she must have an allergic reaction for the rash. And they then sent her on her way. She is not feeling better and it has been over 48 hours. Any suggestions

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sore throat, fever and skin rashes which is due to bacterial infection leading to strep throat. It could be due to allergic reaction. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain proper oral hygiene. You should take Diphenhydramine and Dextromethorphan for 4-5 days. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages. You should take you take nasal decongestant sprays, antihistamines and antibiotic combination as infection is present. You should avoid it .Do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Take ibuprofen one tablet twice daily. Take soft foods to avoid irritation to the throat. Throat lozenges one every 4 hours is helpful. Drink lukewarm water throughout the day as it can provide relief.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
