I am a 37 year old female. I had a fever last weekend for 2 days with no other syptoms except extreme muscle aches in my back; it went away but now almost 6  days later I have developed a red rash on my arms, legs, buttocks and stomach. The rash is not raised and doesnt itch for the most part (my skin feels slightly tight). Could this be related to the fever. I have used no new products etc that could cause an allergic reaction. Is there a virus or such going around that cause a high fever and muscle aches followed by a rash a few days after the fever?
Thanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor. As I understand you are concern about your rash. But before suggesting treatment I want to know what medication have you had during fever episode, are you still on some medication or not.rashes are painful or painless, rashes are present on both side of body or only on one side. Present complaint could be allergic or may be due to viral illness. But as there is no associated fever and body ache, so chances of infection are least but we cannot ignore it. So I suggest you to do only one test 1. Complete blood count .and if possible send me picture of your rash .and meanwhile you can take antiallergic medicine Loratadine 10\u00a0mg once at night for symptomatic relief.review me after required detail.thank you.
