Suggest Treatment For Viral Infection And Rash

My son is sick with a viral infection that caused a Petechial rash. On my way home from taking him to the doctor, I threw up three times and by the time I got home I had a low grade fever (99.8) and my cheeks were very red. I had a bright red rash up my entire arms and my arms were hot to the touch, and sore. My arms itched really bad as well. I took Benadryl and itch cream and that didn t work. When I woke up this morning, the rash on my arms wasn t as raised, but still pretty red. And my legs are covered now and itch as well.

For fever is mostly due to viral infection and allergic rash that you have mentioned in your history. For this you have to take some antibiotic after an expert opinion preferably cap doxycycline with tab dolo 650 every 8-12 hours for fever and tab avil or tab cetrizine every 8-12 hours for severe itching. You also have to use clobit-gm or betnovate cream for local application.
