Hi Im a 35 yr.old female, 55, and 125lbs. I have always been pretty healthy. Almost 2 weeks ago I had a fever for almosst 5 days with very achy body, but no respitory issues. Since fever broke 6 days ago I have felt not so normal, tired and still a little achy. This morning I woke with swollen sore joints and red blotchy skin, I also have a few swollen lymph nodes. Went to urgent care twice and there was no diagnosis, just maybe viral, and to get lots of rest and take pain relief (advil/tylenol). This is very unusual for me and concerning, any advice?
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Since there are no respiratory symptoms then it may be another viral illness such as dengue, chikungunya or a similar illness. These conditions cause fever along with joint and muscle pain. It can take a few weeks for recovery to occur. Your doctors may want to consider assessing to see if one of these or a related condition, is the cause of your symptoms. I hope this helps
