Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of rashes on body, fever and fatigue this seems to be viral fever or flu. Intake of Tegretol is not improving your symptoms which is because you have infection caused by virus. Your immunity seems to be compromised. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to

1) Take anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to prevent fever and body-ache. Take analgesic such as Flexon and take light diet.

2) Drink plenty of fluids, have proper rest.

3) Do warm saline gargles.

4) You should take antiviral medication to improve symptoms.

Your symptoms will resolve in 3-4 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit general physician once and get it examined and start treatment after proper examination and prescription. Go for blood tests as well. You should do warm saline gargles on daily basis. Avoid cold carbonated liquids. You should not take fried, hot and spicy food.


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
