My husband was diagnosed with acute bronchitis about a week and a half ago and since have been taking antibiotics and cough syrup. however, last night i noticed some red spots all over the body and face. is this associated with bronchitis or something totally different ?
Hi, Generalized skin rash can be due to various reasons like infections, insect bites, allergy, medications you are taking, or excessive heat. Infections can even be bronchitis as you are mentioning. Actually we need to have a detailed history and clinical examination for the same. If the fever and cough are persisting, then maybe it is associated with bronchitis. Also need to know the type of rash-macular, vesicle or pustular (flat or like bubbles). I feel best would be to take an anti-allergic. If the symptoms do not improve then you need to get reevaluation doe, get some tests like chest X-ray, complete blood count, CRP. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
