Sir, I noticed red spots on my palms yesterday, and today they have spread to my feet. Could you please help me understand what the problem might be and its cause? I am awaiting my blood test report, but these spots have spread a lot over the past two days. Apart from medical treatment, what additional precautions should I take at home until I get my report? Kindly help

Could be viral rash, allergic reaction, or vasculitis. Avoid scratching, apply soothing lotion (calamine), stay hydrated. If fever or itching worsens, see a doctor. Meanwhile, take just one cetrizine tablet before sleep.

I have a slit in my uterus, and I can see two flaps of flesh coming out of it. The slit is now healing quickly. However, I have been having a continuous fever for the last three days. I visited a doctor who examined my blood report and said I have a bacterial infection.

Can blood tests detect a bacterial infection?

My 7.5 year old son has been unwell for the past 15 days. He gets a fever every 6 to 8 hours. He is being treated with antibiotics, fever syrup, and multivitamins. We have done all the blood tests, and everything came back negative. What could be the reason for this persistent fever? What should we do next, as it has already been 15 days? We are worried because we do not know what is happening. Please advise.
