Since Thursday a.m., my husband has been experiencing intense itching on his legs (lower at first now all and sometimes arms), intermittent pain in front of his left knee right under his kneecap.  He is getting over a cold with headache, coughing, fever.  He has been taking cough syrup.
Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. In my opinion it is an allergy. As you are describing itching all over the body etc. It is the characteristics of the allergy. You can take cetirizine, and prednisolone under doctors guidance. Try to find out the possible allergen responsible for your reaction. Once you find it out all will be cured. You can also prevent future incidence also.
