Brief Answer:
Allergy

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

The symptoms you describe appear to be a part of allergy. the flu, cough, dizziness, and rashes all fit in the spectrum of systemic allergy. You can take Tab Cetirizine 10mg once in the night after food for 3 days and observe. If the symptoms subside, it is due to allergy.

The skin rash may fade over weeks time after Cetirizine if its due to allergy. If the symptoms do not subside, then you may have to get examined and evaluated in detail by your doctor.

Hope I answered your query. Wish you good health.

Regards
