Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
It is common to have itching after a viral infection.
Your flu like symptoms could be due to viral infection which is followed by itching now.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply calamine lotion on the itchy areas of the body along with tablet Cetrizine 10 mg twice daily.
This should resolve in 5-7 days.
