What Causes Fever In Left-sided Face, Upper Back Of Arms And Chest?

default
Posted on Mon, 13 Jun 2016
Question: I recently got a kenalog cocktail for allergies, and started symbicort twice a day and developed left side of face fever yesterday. Today that fever has migrated to the upper backs of my arms and on my chest. I also have a horrible muscle pain in my neck. Sound like anything alarming. Some flu like symptoms in my eyes as well.

Brief Answer:
All common respiratory tract infections symptoms ma'am, nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Let me try and explain each of your symptoms to you:

1. Left side face fever: Is called glandular fever, and is more commonly related to a gland on one side of the region where it appears, and in your case is most probably the left tonsil or left gland from the upper respiratory tract

2. The fever migrating to the upper part of your back, chest and arms: Is related to the infection spreading to your lungs, and at the same time affecting the blood vessels around the lungs (common with respiratory tract infections)

3. The muscles spasm can be related to dehydration or electrolyte loss which is associated to respiratory infections

I hope you find my response helpful sir. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.

The kramer cocktail 9/60 has nothing to do with this?

May be mildly, but more likely to be due to the condition

Hello once again ma'am.

It could mildly contribute to a few of those symptoms, but most likely to be associated with your respiratory tract ma'am.

Hope this helps. :)

I have allergies and asthma not an infection

Brief Answer:
The answer remains unchanged ma'am, pls read below, tc

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again ma'am.

If an infection has been ruled out through blood work, then that is a good thing. As for the allergies, the same picture can be seen with an allergic reaction as well which can cause a glandular fever. As for the chest and upper back fever this could be contributed by the asthma and not the allergies.

Do not worry ma'am, and please approach your doctor to help monitor the response of both the inhaled steroids and the cocktail, but in my opinion the cocktail has nothing to do with your presentation ma'am.

Best wishes.
