Suggest Cure For Fever Caught After Having Shower In The Cold Weather

one day i took a shower before school early in the morning in a cold weather. when i arrived at school after an hour i felt really cold and my temperature suddenly dropped. and i started to get a fever. at home my feet started to turn red and get really itchy and than it transferred to my hands and now my hands look a little different its red with tiny red dots on it. I went to two different doctors one said its from allergies and the other said its a virus from the cold. and i got a medicine called "Reactine Allergies" for itchiness
