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.

It is about my sister she is 20 years old and healthy but she faints and becomes unconscious at any time for example while eating sitting standing or sleeping. Is there any psychological problem because her blood report and blood pressure are normal.

My father is 77 years old and has been a COPD patient for the past 20 years, under regular medication. Recently, he has been experiencing chills and shivering in the evenings and at night, along with sweating. His blood report suggests oedema in the liver and kidneys. He is currently taking antibiotics for bacterial infections along with paracetamol, but there has been no improvement. Could you please explain the possible reasons for his condition, what further tests might be needed, and what medications or treatments should be considered?
