Iam a 45 yr old male who has just finished a course of anti biotics for a chest infection.  I have aches and pains around my lower ribs and feel a little hot in this area.  My aches are better now I have been on anti-inflammatories for the past two days.  I have now got a few raised red pin prick dots that are itchy.  There are not many, though a few on chest, one on foot and one on back.  I do not have headache, fever, diarrhoea or vomiting.
Hello, I have studied your case. Due to compression of this nerve root there can be chest /rib pain. Another possibility of persistent chest infection leading to eruption. I will advise you to do MRI thoracic spine, HRC [CHEST] and EMG- CV [nerve conduction study]For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. You may require blood test or chest scan if no relief. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health.
