Hi,

Thanks for your query.

The bluish discoloration of the palms may not be related to the hand examined by your treating doctor to rule out any vascular deformity of blood clot blocking the circulation. A Dopplar scan may be needed in addition to ascertain the circulation is fine.

Well, body-ache and fever could be secondary effects of the MTP. This could be due to milder variety of infection for which you will need antibiotics, if not treated by anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen alone.

Do take Tab Brufen 400mg twice daily after food for a day and observe if the symptoms subside completely. If the symptoms persist do consult your treating doctor for antibiotics.

Hope I answered your query.

Please let me know if there are any other concerns.
