What Causes Fever, Red Palms, Fatigue And A Lump In The Throat?

Hello. I have dealing with a low grade fever, red palms, extreme tiredness for over a 6 weeks. I did have a lump in my throat too, which I thought were all related. Come t find out, I have a blocked saliva gland that needs removal. Surgeon said, your red palms, tiredness and fever are not related. When I looked up red hands, it didn t say anything good, so I stopped looking, but Im concerned about low grade fever as well. What do you suggest

Hi,

It is possible that the fatigue, fever and redness may be related. You may need to see a GP or an infection control specialist. Blood tests such as complete blood count and ESR may be needed. The white cell count in the complete blood count would be elevated in infection as well other conditions. ESR checks for inflammation.

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

Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James, General & Family Physician
