Suggest Treatment For Fever With Pain And Spots On Legs

my 26-year-old son started running a fever five days ago, treated with Theraflu and then acetominophen and ibuprofen. He then went to the doctor and blood work was done. His platelets were in the 70,000's, tested for flu and it was negative, told he had a sinus infection, started on Allegra-D, zyrtec, and a Z-pack. Yesterday he had spots develop on his legs (his legs only) and his platelets had come up to the 80,000's. Now this morning his tells me that his shins and legs are sore.

Hello,
Thanks for the concern. According to history he may have viral fever as his blood report shows decreased platelet count, taken medicine and platelet count increased which indicates improvement but at present you have pain in leg and shin for that he should continue with ibuprofen and acetominophen also take plenty of liquid and take complete rest untill his platelet count increases sufficiently. Hope you might get help. Take care
