My daughter and grandson and myself went to Melton market last Tuesday seven days ago on. Friday I started to feel unwell, ache all over really bad went to bed at six Saturday developed a real bad head eyes hurt to move Sunday the same feeling like I had been run over by a steamroller, Monday morning after not sleeping found I had a rash all over chest back torso top of legs. I went to doctors they said it was a virus just take paracetamol Tuesday my daughter came and she was just the same all the same symptoms she also had cold sores which she has never suffered from before. I rang my doctor back he feels that we may contracted it from the market the previous Tuesday. What I would like to know is what can it be we are both worried about bird flu as we bought a goose and brought it back in the car with us on that day. I have not had cold symptoms but I feel as if they are just there underneath like slight symptoms like a sneeze or two and a slight feeling of a cold waiting to come out ,should we inform the market because we cant be the only ones to have contracted something that day.? Also I remember Friday night I kept having chest pains like stich but I took no notice thought it was indigestion, I do still have them slightly now.
The rashes that cause you discomfort can be due to some food allergy, contact dermatitis, photo-sensitivity, reaction to some medication/drink or infections like bacterial, fungal or parasitic.
Take non sedating antihistamines, apply hydrocortisone or calamine lotion locally, take Acetamenophen(Tylenol) or Ibuprofen (Advil) for pain. Avoid scratching and the use of cosmetics. Wear loose cotton clothes. If you don't get relieve you may need antibiotics. Take allergy test & CBC, visit ER.
