Suggest Medication For Fever And Sore Throat
My husband has a fever 37 to 38C (up to 102F) for seven days now. He's been skiing one day and developed it after a mild sore throat. Now he's been having a fever, sweats extensively, and has a red flat rash that doesn't itch on his face and torso, but not arms and legs. He coughs extensively and says his chest hurt when he does. His doctor prescribed an antibiotic that I've never heard of. It's called (over here) zymbactar (claritromicine) but when he developed this rash I took him to the clinic, and they said it must be a virus. Help (I'm traveling abroad today and slightly panicking)

Hello \
Your husband is having fever , cough , chills for 7 days and advised clarithromycin .
When cough it hurt ( chest ) .
You are travelling , so such symptoms may be due to flu or cold ( because your husband is also having rash at few portions ) .
In such cases I advise my patient to take lEVOFLOXACIN 10 mg / kg body weight with tylenol ( 10 -15 mg / kg whenever fever or body pain ).
Since fever is for 7 days and continuous travel is there , so take this treatment along some bronchodilator cough syrup .
After this get in full examination as CBC, CHEST X-RAY and for malaria and typhoid .
Hope this will help you.
