Are Arm Rash And Night Sweating Normal Post Viral Pharyngitis?

I have had viral pharyngitis for the past 5 days now. the pain has finally subsided and I am left with a frog voice, congestion, some coughing and fever that comes at night. The back of my throat is dry and bothersome, but no longer painful, its like I have thrush back there. I ve noticed a small rash of sorts, maybe the size of two peas on my arm. I have been sweating profusely at night for the last two nights... my question is: Are all these symptoms normal?

HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for posting your query.

Sweating can happen while recovering from any kind of infection but rashes over your arm is not due to Viral Pharyngitis.

The possible cause for that rash is a separate Viral or bacterial infection of the skin or it could be due to drug allergy. So are you still on any medications given for your pharyngitis ? If yes then the chance of drug allergy is high and the rash will subside once the drug is stopped .

But if you are not on any medicines then it is due to separate infection . In that case just wait for 2-3 days as it may fade off by itself. But if it persists or if its spreading then you need to consult your doctor.

Hope this information is useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
