What Causes Cough, Fever, Sore Ankle, Knee Rash And Suggest Treatment?
my girlfriend has a cough, fever, sore ankle, wrist, and knee joints (extremely), and a rash to knee and thigh area (not raised) progressing. Shes been sick for a week but rash just started yesterday. She has elevated ast blood test, low white count, and low pottasium and high co2. What is going on? maybe its parvo virus, but what else could it be, or how can you treat parvo virus if it is?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
My thoughts and suggestions are as below.
Coughing, fever, sore ankle, wrist and knee joints along with development of skin rash that is not elevated can be due to one of the following reasons:
Viral as your have mentioned and has no specific treatment.
Elevated AST, low white cell count all indicate the same.
The treatment is symptomatic like paracetamol for fever, anti-histaminics for rash, multivitamins and mineral supplements for an early recovery.
Consult a Doctor for clinical evaluation, examination and order for any further investigations and have proper prescription based management.
Hope I have answered your query.
