His next symptom was a dry deep sounding cough with hard to breath he has had this for about a year. Then a couple of months ago he started with this symptom of his skin welts so easely you can barely run your nailes over any part of his body and he gets these god awful welts they dont hurt or burn and go away after 15 20 min. In the past two weeks his left tonsul has enlarge so big with this white looks to be blister on it. His body temperature spikes only at night 102 103 every night. Took him to the hospital everything checks out fine no high white blood count but yet his tonsuls are swollen awful. They checked for strep came back neg, he does have some hives all over, they took chest exray his chest came back clear but yet he has these coughing episodes and cant breath they did find out his blood platlets were low. They never found out anything but he is still in bad shape getting worse, he is 18 with no insurance I think thats why they sent him home he was in the hospital 4 days. I think his body is atacing itsself but dont know can you help with some ideal
