Suggest Treatment For Aches And Red Spots On Legs

Recently overcame fever and now I have a dry cough, I'm achy, and have red spots on legs and red(looks like petechiae). My doctor gave me a zpak and medrol dosepack to help. But I didn't mention the rash because it was minor but now it broke out today. Can you tell me what it could be?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that the rash may be a viral exanthem.

This is a rash that can sometimes occur with viral infections including the common cold or flu.
Normally the rash would resolve as the infection resolves.

I hope this helps
