I am 11 weeks pregnant and one night I had a mirgraine for about 4 hours and then got a sore throat. I took tylenol and my headache went away but in the night I had horrible vomiting and diarrhea. The next night I started getting this red pimply rash on my fingers and its very itchy and it moved to my feet and a little on my face. And today I checked my throat and its white with some red spots. This has been going on for three days. Please help me.

In reply to Khim. Hi Khim If there is no improvement by day 3, it is advisable that you go back to your doctor. The symptoms associated with a sore throat (pharyngitis or tonsillitis) will not settle overnight, but there should be significant improvement by the third day of treatment. The red spots on the hand could be related to an allergic reaction to the medication you are currently using but rather be cautious and speak to your doctor about it.

Hi, I’m a 43 year old female, and I’m having the exact symptoms. I had a fever 2 nights ago, when to the doctors and got the same meds, paracetamol (for the fever)antibiotics (Medolexin)and Prednisolone for the sore throat. The fever broke yesterday, but I noticed the red spots on both palms, and although the spots are not itchy the bigger ones are more sensitive. My sore throart hasn’t improved either, and I also thought that it come be tonsilities. Should I see the doctors again?

Thanks for the advice.
