What Causes Fever And Muscle Ache With Rashes?

My friend had an illness about 3 weeks ago, treated with antibiotics. Symptoms included fever up to 102, moderate body/muscle aches, red rash across small of back, and heavy fatigue. It lasted a couple of weeks, then he felt much better and perkier. Rash almost disappeared. Now suddenlyi it s all back again. Current temperature is only 99, but he fears it s starting to climb. Possible causes????

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,
Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern
I went through your query, and I feel, the symptoms you describe are those of viral illness, and it is quite possible that he would have again got infected or a super added bacterial infection now could be doing this.
Consult your physician and discuss this possibility with him, you may need routine blood investigations once again.
I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back.
Thanks.
