Hi, my husband has a temperature of 103 and says he is cold but I can see the sweat dripping off of him. He said his bones feel like they re aching and he noticed this morning that he has sore red bumps on the back of his tongue. What could this be please?
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. I advise you to kindly do dengue testing in you. Dengue causes a same symptom as you mentioned. Platelet count is very important in treating dengue. As if it is very low there is chance of hemorrhage and death. I advise you to start fluid therapy. Take as much fluid as you can take. It will flush of the remaining virus from the body. You can take paracetamol as and when required under your doctors' guidance. This will lower down the temperature immediately. Please check the platelet count if its to low you can take the alternate therapy in terms or platelet concentrate. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
