Suggest Remedies For Severe Headache, Swollen Fingers And Rashes On Foot And Leg

I have had a fever for a couple days with a bad headache. On ibuprofen it is just over 100. Beginning two days ago I wake up with slightly swollen fingers. Just tonight a rash appeared on the tops of both feet and a little on one leg. And my hands are hot. Hoping it is jist how the virus is presenting?

Hi thanks for asking question.
Here according to history most probably it seems to be generalised viral infection.Symptomatic management done for it.
Drink more water with fruit juices.
Antihistaminic need to be taken.
Analgesic can be taken if more pain.
But you have also mentioned about swollen fingers.

If joint over finger is swollen with redness over it and stiffness felt then gouty arthritis like condition also has to thought.Serum uric acid level estimation done.
If still no benefit and swelling increasing then septic arthritis like condition thought and blood culture can be done.

So just now continue with viral inflammatory condition and symptomatic management done for it.
Then if no benefit then according to physical examination further work up done.
I hope my suggestion will be helpful to you.
