Ive been sick for the past few weeks. I had the flu two weeks ago, was mainly better, then got sick again from lack of sleep, etc over vacation. Im now very congested and had an earache and a fever for a few days before my doctor prescribed azithromycin. Just two days ago, I noticed small red bumps all along my chest and around to my back. They are itchy, but not horribly. I havent changed anything -- soap, detergent, etc. I am still on the antibiotic, and am taking it in conjunction with mucinex, for my congestion. Any clue what may be causing this?
Thanks to ChatDoctorI can understand your problem flu is mainly caused by virus.it may cause fever, congestion and generalized weakness some viruses cause red bumps like chickenpox, measles here we have to take antivirals along with antibiotics to prevent severity and secondary infection. You have to use antiallergic Chat Doctor. ESR. To rule out the disease avoid overcrowded places, exposure to cold and dusty areas don't worry, it may subside itself slowly plenty of liquids you need here.  If high grade fever is there have cold sponging with cotton or soft cloth. Use calamine lotion on itching area for soothing effect .ok
