I've been dealing with a viral fever for the last five days, and while I'm feeling better now, I'm experiencing this really bothersome itching all over my body. Is this normal after a viral fever, or should I be concerned about something else? What can I do to relieve the itching?

That could be post pyrexial rash,no need to worry thats self limting ,stay hydrated and consume balanced diet,for itching you can take allergra 120mg or cetrizine 10mg once in a day for 3 days.

I've been dealing with an infection for quite some time now and I've tried several creams like Dermikem OC and Clocip but nothing seems to be working. Could you please suggest the right treatment for this? I'm really worried and could use some guidance.

It seems like you have a fungal infection. I would recommend using a combination of Terbinafine cream (brand name Lamisil) and Clotrimazole cream (brand name Lotrimin). Apply Terbinafine cream twice a day and Clotrimazole cream once a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help the medication work effectively.
