I 've had a recent type of virus. The symptoms are laryngitis like. I lost my voice 4 days
ago. Been having a headaches, fatigue, low appetite and a red rash like feeling all over
my body. This rash like thing has no raised bumps, but seem to be maybe a sensation
of my nerve endings, itching and redness. No fever. Also, about three weeks ago I was
stung by a meat bee and had a reaction. I was stung on my foot and my whole leg swelled up. I went to urgent care , where I was told to take benedryl. Do you think I have
a virus or should I go to the urgent care?

Hello

Since it has been going on for 4 days, it sure won't hurt to be seen in urgent care. They will be able to tell if you need a course of antibiotics, and the sooner you start them if they are needed, the better.
