What Could Rashes, Sore Throat, Body Pain, Earache, Headaches And Nausea Indicate?

I came out in a rash nearly two weeks ago. I went to see my doctor who diagnosed me with pitryasis rosea. He asked if I had a sore throat which then I didnt, however, since then I have an extremely sore throat,ear pain,nausea,lightheadedness, body ache and headaches. I have tried to get an appointment since but there are none available.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Upper respiratory tract infection may precede all other symptoms in pityriasis rosea,The rash may be accompanied by body ache, fever, headache, nausea and symptoms of ear and throat infection.
Pityriasis rosea is a self-limiting rash. It goes away on its own without any treatment.
Its exact cause is unknown. No organism has been isolated as a cause but certain types of human herpes viruses may play a role.It is not associated with food, medicines or stress.
The symptoms of Pityriasis rosea usually lasts for 2-10 weeks but can last as long as five months.
For my patients with this symptoms I would have suggested
1.Simple creams having soothing to the skin and reduce the itching.
2.Antihistamine tablets may help to reduce the itching. It can be prescribed by your doctor.
3.Your doctor may prescribe a steroid cream if your itching is more severe.
Hope you are satisfied with the answer, feel free to post the queries.
Thank you.
