Our family has all been hit by a similar bug this week. Symptoms include achiness, fatigue, sweating, nausea, & bloated feeling. A friend came down with something similar, however, his is stobborn and won't go away. The areas on his body that ache are covered in a rash that feels hot to the touch. Is this cause for alarm, or will it fade and the bug works its way out?

Thank you

Aches and pains, bloating, nausea are all signs of flu (sometimes food poisoning) very hard to tell on line when you ask us it is difficult and we can't diagnose for a number of reasons.

These symptoms, plus rash, is worrisome though and should be checked out by a doctor. He probably has a temp, has anyone checked that ? 98.6 I s normal, anything above that is abnormal and should be seen to.
