What Causes Body Ache Along With Chills And Headache?

On Wednesday Jan. 10, 2018 around 2am I went into the local er because of painful body aches, chills and hot flashes, headache and sore throat. The read my temperature at 100.8 and did a test to see if it was the flu. It came back negative. The doctor gave me 2 Tylenol and told me I have some kind of viral infection and to go home yet lots of rest and drink lots of fluids. I woke up Thursday morning and my body wasnt aching and the chills went away. I noticed red spots/slight bumps that hurt and itch. I decided maybe they were part of the viral infection and that they might go away. I woke up this morning name there arena few more and they hurt a little more. Should I go back and get it checked out?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Yes, you should get examined though it should not be a recurrence of your symptoms in January. It can be a side effect of some medication you might be taking. Take care of your hygiene & check your mattress or bed sheets for bugs if any. You can use some hydrocortisone cream or aloe Vera ointment for relieve. Take Savlon or Dettol bath.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
