Question: I have had a temp between 99 and 100.2 for four days off and on. On days one and two, diarrhea and vomiting. On day two, I got ten red, hard, non-itching bumps on my torso (chest and stomach) 1/4 inch or so in diameter. They all have come to heads and are now thinning and drying out but remain red. I also have a cough, but that is typical for me in spring because of chronic profuse post-nasal drip. I feel much better than in the first two days, but I continue to have this low-grade fever. I've assumed this is a virus and have just been resting. Is this the right course of action, or should I see a doc? I called my primary the first day because of the nausea/vomiting, but they said they couldn't/wouldn't do anything for me unless I came in, something I don't think I could have done without puking on their shoes. So, I suffered instead and got past that part. I am a healthy, 61-year-old female.

Okay to continue taking Claritin too?
Thank you! Virus was my suspicion.

Much better! You made the perfect call. Rash has disappeared and fever and malaise are better too. Thank you!
