My son had a severe allergic reaction due to a medicine he took for sudden pain in his leg joints. The reaction appears as red dots all over his legs, which are also painful at times. It looks similar to severe mosquito bites, and there are no purple dots. The doctor indicated a possibility of vasculitis, but the blood report stated otherwise. His rheumatoid factor is 8.5.

For the past 3 to 4 months, he has been experiencing difficulty during urination. When he feels the urge to urinate, he is only able to pass about 30 to 40 percent of it and cannot empty his bladder completely. He also feels pain internally during the process. After a short time, the urge returns, but again he is unable to fully empty his bladder. I have attached his test report for your review.
