What Causes Fever, Redness Of Face And Red Bumps All Over Chest Area?

I have a fever on and off since Monday night. Pain in the back and front of my head. Tonight I noticed red face and chest with little red bumps all over. I have been take ibuprofen, but it doesn t seem to be working. I am a healthy female, age 45. But last Wednesday I came down with a bladder infection. I am on antibiotics. Then Monday had a small ovarian cyst that burst. They did a pelvic ultrasound and e everything came back ok. Should I go to my Pcp or Dr.

HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.

Well fever with rashes indicates Viral Infection ( though some rare bacteria cause also rashes ) . That too the possibility of Chicken pox ( Varicella ) is high .
The other possibility is drug reaction to either Ibuprofen or the antibiotic which you have taken for bladder infection( though fever is bit less likely is drug reaction )

I would like to have a look at your red bumps to differentiate between infection and drug reaction. Hence I request you to upload the picture of the bumps . Also till then it's better to avoid Ibuprofen . You can take Tyelenol for fever.

Will be looking forward for your reply.

Regards.
