Developed bumps on the body a few days after having a fever
Fever usually refers to an elevated body temperature. Developing bumps on the body several days after fever onset is generally caused by factors such as allergies, urticaria (hives), or viral rashes. Treatment should be selected according to the specific underlying cause. Detailed analysis is as follows:
1. Allergy
When patients have a fever, taking certain medications or exposure to allergens may trigger an allergic reaction, resulting in red bumps appearing on the skin after the fever, often accompanied by symptoms such as sneezing or asthma. Medications such as loratadine tablets or levocetirizine hydrochloride tablets may be taken under medical guidance for treatment.
2. Urticaria (Hives)
Exposure to cold, heat, or other stimuli during a fever may lead to urticaria. Bacterial infections causing fever can also predispose individuals to developing hives. Symptoms typically present as bright red or pale raised plaques, accompanied by significant itching. It is important to actively identify and avoid triggers. Antihistamines such as cetirizine may be used for treatment, along with topical applications like calamine lotion.
3. Viral Rash
After a cold, decreased immunity makes patients more susceptible to viral infections that can cause viral rashes. These rashes may be associated with fever, red bumps on the body, and possibly severe symptoms such as nausea, pain, and intense itching. Under medical advice, medications such as Bairei granules or Pudilan anti-inflammatory oral liquid may be taken. Calamine lotion can also be applied topically to affected areas.
Bumps appearing on the body several days after fever may also result from drug-induced dermatitis, urticaria, Kawasaki disease, or other causes. Patients are advised to seek timely medical attention and receive standardized treatment under a doctor’s supervision. Self-medication should be avoided to prevent delays in proper diagnosis and treatment.
