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.

I have been suffering from Chikungunya for the past 2 weeks. During this period, I experienced upper thigh and knee joint pain for 2 days, which is now under control with medication. My blood report shows increased WBC, and my doctor mentioned a possible viral and bacterial infection. I have also been having loose motions (liquid stools) for the past 3 days and a fever above 102F for several days. My medical history includes urinary tract infections, and my kidneys are shrunk.
