Question: I have had severe congestion, fever and aches since Friday. This morning woke up with very itchy blisters on my trunk, legs and one arm. Thera Flu and Dayquil helped but now these itchy spots are driving me crazy. I have been using benedryl to alleviate itching but its not helping.
Brief Answer:
Chicken pox
Detailed Answer:
There is a possibility that you have developed chicken pox.

Keep taking Benadryl and apply calamine lotion twice daily.
This will help in reducing the severity of blisters.
