Suggest Treatment For Headache, Sore Throat And Body Pain

Symptoms of an 18 year old male seem to be flu like: headache, sore throat, aching everywhere, feels light headed like he will pass out but doesn t, but the weird symptom is that he woke with a rash and redness on the first (largest) knuckles of each hand. He has had a fever ranging from 99.5 to 102.4 and it comes and goes. Any idea if this is something to be concerned about. Also his neck and back are aching, but so are his hips and most joints.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Does he has recurrent sore throat? or Chest palpitations?

His joints are painful and also has rash and all above symptoms goes towards a streptococcal infection. Or rheumatic fever/heart disease. Though you have not mentioned about his heart condition. I suggest you to go to a medicine specialist. Do not ignore.

Hope this will help you

Get well soon

Thank you
