UPDATED-May 3, 2012. Scientist Dies at Veteran’s Research Facility in California from rare bacteria. He contracted a rash before dying! https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2012/05/03/deadlybacteriakills/
Original article begins-
An often unreported symptom of H1N1 Swine Flu and/or the Flu Shot is the appearance of hives and a rash. Children and adults often get rashes as an immune response to many viruses and the swine flu being a virus, is no exception.
You can rule out other skin disorders at http://familydoctor.org/online/famdocen/home/tools/symptom/545.html
In answering questions regarding rashes and the H1N1, we found…http://www.swineflu.org/forum_posts.asp?TID=25932
“Yes, I have seen a few patients with a rash. They’ve mostly been pediatric patients, not adults. Some were taking antibiotics for possible bacterial co-infections or had high fevers at the time of presentation, so it’s sometimes hard to sort out whether the rash was due to a medication, the blotchy skin that is sometimes seen with high fever, a bacterial infection, or whether it is a direct manifestation of H1N1. From a treatment standpoint, we try to rule out secondary bacterial infections or medication reactions as causative, bring down their fever, and provide supportive care for the flu. The rash has resolved itself without event in each case.
I did a quick literature search. There have been cases of rash reported associated with past influenza epidemics. In particular, this seems to have been a manifestation of the pandemic in the 1890s. Several doctors wrote about a “scarlatiniform” rash they were seeing — a rash that looked to them like what they’d see in scarlet fever but without the other typical signs of that disease (e.g. strawberry tongue, desquamation = skin peels/flakes). Those MD comments note that the rash, if one appeared, occurred within a few hours of the onset of illness, was seen mainly in children under 8 years old, was in proportion to the fever (more fever = more rash), and usually resolved in a day or so. (Bear in mind that these comments were written before viruses were identified and before the role of secondary bacterial infections was ascertained).
Here’s one such account: http://www.bmj.com/cgi/pdf_extract/1/1787/731
A “scarlatiniform” rash is seen in the above image, http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/hardin/MD/derm … fever.html
We also found this on the Swine Flu Rash-
“If it is any help, the night the rash got really bad and her temp was highest I rang nhs direct and the lovely doctor I (eventually) spoke to said that this was likely to be her bodies ‘final battle’ with the virus. he expected her to be better by the morning. http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/swine_flu/806681-Rash-with-swine-flu
The overwhelming majority of cases of scarlet fever are caused by group A streptococcus (GABHS). Other bacteria can cause a pharyngitis and similar rash, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, Arcanobacterium haemolyticum, and Clostridium species. http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1053253-overview.
Many people who have died from H1H1 this year were also infected with pneumonia bacteria, warns the CDC. These co-infections with a common bacteria (Streptococcus pneumoniae, or pneumococcus) likely contributed to their death, according to a report published in the CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. Pneumonia is an inflammation of one or both lungs, usually caused by infection from a bacterium or virus. CDC is reminding people of the importance of being vaccinated against this common bacterium and advising them to talk with their doctor. http://seniorjournal.com/Spotlights/FLU2009/20091001-SeniorsNeedPneumonia.htm
There is evidence that like the H1n1 vaccine, the Pneumonia vaccine doesn’t work either. https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2009/10/10/h1n1-swine-pneumonia-pneumococcal-vaccine-mf59/
In the U.S. PNEUMOVAX ® 23 (PNEUMOCOCCAL VACCINE POLYVALENT) is the approved prophylaxis against pneumococcal disease. http://www.merck.com/product/usa/pi_circulars/p/pneumovax_23/pneumovax_pi.pdf where there is a complete disclosure of toxic ingredients including phenol.
Could it also mean the the H1N1 is again mutating and becoming stronger? Just coincidence? Another less reported side effect? Is the rash caused by a fever, over the counter flu medicines, Tamiflu, etc. Part of a coinfection of bacteria?
Don’t hold your breath on any scientific tying of the symptoms together. Guess if you or a child has an itch, scratch it. We’re curious to know if you see a rash if you would mind adding your findings in the comment section:
Age of person with rash?
Fever present? Temperature?
Consistent flu symptoms?
How soon after fly symptoms did rash occur?
Was there a seasonal flu vaccine?
Was thre an H1N1 or FluMist ® vaccine?
Did patients fever break and symptoms lesson/get worse after the appearance of any rash or hives?
What medicines were administered prior to the rash?
What medicines were administered after the rash?
How long did the rash last?
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu?
Anything else you can think of?
We just keep scratching our heads why all the neighborhood kids got the hee bee gee bees, and the flu too. Thanks for your confidential input.

Hello to all
In this enigmatical time, I disposition you all
Rise your relations and friends
hi!,I love your writing very so much! proportion we keep in touch more about your article on AOL?
I need a specialist in this house to resolve my problem.
Maybe that’s you! Taking a look ahead to look you.
My kids and I have had a very strong flu. My 12 yr-old daughter had 5 days of fever, last two days the highest. She broke out in a scarlet fever like rash, but without the strawberry tongue. It is not itchy. My 8-yr old son has been the perkiest with the fever despite it going as high as 105. He is now developing the rash after his fever breaking. However, it is beginning to spike again. One thing I have definitely noticed is the fever gets worse when we are hungry. When we eat, the fever drops. My daughter was prescribed antibiotics first, thinking it was Strep. However the rash developed before we filled the script. Assuming it was viral, the dr recommend we not take the medication. So, none of us have taken medicine. Mostly, the fever has been 102-103.5 for a full 2.5 -3 days, (spiked to 105 with 8yr old) then the rash develops. then up and down for 2 days where you feel better but still worn out. The rash gets worse within 1-1.5 days and then completely goes away in a day or two. Totaling a 5days – a full week seriously under the weather.

%first_paragraph 4:07 pm Welcome Roy Hodgson has made three changes for England’s Euro 2016 qualifier against Slovenia but stuck with Raheem Sterling in Ljubljana. Hodgson made three alterations to that lifeless 0-0 friendly draw in Dublin, with Kieran Gibbs, Fabian Delph and Andros Townsend replacing Ryan Bertrand, James Milner and Adam Lallana in Ljubljana.
The Three Lions boss plumped for the 20-year-old despite a taxing ending to the season and last weekend suggesting the attacking midfielder did not cope well with the abuse received by home fans in the Republic of Ireland.
Slovenia: Handanovic; Brecko, Ilic, Cesar, Jokic; Mertelj, Kurtic; Kampl, Ilicic, Kirm; Novakovic. England: Hart; Jones, Cahill, Smalling, Gibbs; Henderson, Wilshere, Delph; Sterling, Rooney, Townsend. England: Hart; Jones, Cahill, Smalling, Gibbs; Henderson, Wilshere, Delph; Sterling, Rooney, Townsend. It’s the same team that our man John Cross had predicted this morning.
4:21 pm Conditions should favour the hosts in Ljubljana today:
In the Stozice Stadium. Clyne should be at right back. com/yf97IPWbWr
– John Cross (@johncrossmirror) June 14, 2015
4:24 pm Jones over Clyne Phil Jones gets the nod at right-back again, and our man John Cross isn’t the only person who seems a little bit confused by the decision-making.
Gibbs’ pace wins the day at left back. 4:15 pm The teams So as discussed, three changes for England. Luke Shaw’s fitness issues count him out and while Ryan Bertrand is in the conversation he hasn’t leapfrogged the Arsenal man in the pecking order. – John Cross (@johncrossmirror) June 14, 2015
At left-back Kieran Gibbs has got the nod, so you could probably go as far as saying he’s the first-choice for that position now.
Slovenia: Handanovic; Brecko, Ilic, Cesar, Jokic; Mertelj, Kurtic; Kampl, Ilicic, Kirm; Novakovic. Very, very hot and humid. Updates as they happen here. Jones is a centre half and has a centre half’s ability on the ball. Yep, the 4-1 World Cup humiliation at the hands of Germany in South Africa. 4:46 pm England will be wearing all-red today for the first time since when?
We’ve been slightly distracted by some concerning events in the cricket at Arundel, where two Surrey players have been hospitalised. 4:43 pm Twenty-odd minutes until kick-off. 4:55 pm Ed Malyon Slovenia dangermen Kevin Kampl Dean Mouhtaropoulos
Borussia Dortmund’s Kampl is a sublime playmaker who will pull the strings for the hosts. Gibbs, Delph and Townsend brought in.
You feel that today’s game may not end up being quite as painful as Bloemfontein, but it’s not the greatest of omens, is it? 5:02 pm We’re underway The Slovenian crowd are “dead up for this” as they say up north. They clashed in the field attempting to catch the same ball and the collision is understood to have knocked Rory Burns unconscious for some five minutes.
Josip Ilicic Maurizio Lagana
Serie A star who will drift in off the flank to help create. Fast and furious opening 75 seconds. Jasmin KurticMidfield enforcer who will be crucial if Slovenia are to get anything from this game. A pass over the Slovenia backline sees Sterling come in off the left flank and, with Samir Handanovic rushing out, he lifts the ball over the keeper.
Sterling needs to finish those if he’s to justify that price tag. Unfortunately he lifted it over the crossbar too. Milivoje NovakovicBeanpole forward has experience, nous and an obvious set-piece threat. Roy Hodgson spent the moments before kick-off fuming at UEFA officials over the position of a camera on the halfway line and demanded it be moved.
It was a good chance and Rooney’s ball was superb. The ball clearly then went off Phil Jones and behind but the Spanish referee gives a goal kick. We did say he would be a set-piece threat. Which is probably why I can’t hear the tiresome trumpet squeals that we’re so used to:
The England band is back, but they’re being drowned out by the bare-chested “Ljubljana Ultras” behind the home goal
– Paul Hirst (@hirstclass) June 14, 2015
5:16 pm Sterling has another chance, taking aim from 11 yards, but it is deflected wide.
5:08 pm A first chance for Slovenia, Novakovic coming near post and flicking on a corner.
Played in again by Rooney, who is notionally the tip of this attack but has been, in fact, by far the most creative player so far. Nobody can get a touch though, as beaten keeper Samir Handanovic looks on thankfully. 5:12 pm The home fans have been pretty boisterous. He jinks down the left, cutting in then out then rasping a left-footed cross low and across goal.
Michael Regan – The FA
5:25 pm Chance Rooney! Good save by the Inter keeper, who despite being a very solid performer in his own right is coming under pressure from Atletico Madrid’s Jan Oblak, one of the best young players in Europe in his position. 5:29 pm Nice footwork from Sterling down the left wing and he wins a dangerous-looking free kick. 5:21 pm Story of the game so far Another chance for England, and it’s Sterling involved again.
Stepovers and trickery from the 20-year-old. Disappointing from such an attacking position. 5:37 pm Is Andros Townsend playing? Jordan Henderson over it, but he can’t find a teammate. 5:06 pm Great early chance for Raheem Sterling, but the Liverpool man has missed when he should have scored. And as I type that he picks the ball up, advances 10 yards, cuts inside and then hits the target with a tame shot from 30 yards.
Sterling has been the highest forward, using his pace to cause problems. His inclusion was one of the big talking points as the teams came out, but we’ve seen awfully little from the Spurs man. Whether that’s because England have been trying to get Sterling the ball is a point for debate, but regardless we’ve seen very little of his dribbling, shoulder-dropping and long-range shooting yet.
The playmaker slides a wonderful through ball past England’s suicidally-high line. We named them both as dangermen pre-match, now Ilicic and Novakovic combine for a terrific goal. Novakovic runs through and his finish bobbles just inside the far post after he has forever to make his decision.
Nice play by Fabian Delph through the middle allows Wayne Rooney to drift into a left-central channel. 5:40 pm GOAL SLOVENIA! Phil Jones had a throw-in adjacent to Slovenia’s penalty area, they lost the ball and then were sprung on the counter. Any of England’s defenders would beat the veteran in a foot race but he was left all alone and had an age to take stock and slide it home.
But more concerning than simply sloppy work in possession is that nobody tracked Novakovic’s run. The Man United man takes a touch and drives one towards the bottom corner, only for Handanovic to get a strong and vital hand to it – tipping it narrowly around the post.
5:44 pm English defending So sloppy from England. England were the better side but they trail and now we’re to have an interesting second half. Slovenia had one, and they tucked it away with aplomb. England on top but now behind. 5:48 pm Approaching half-time, and MirrorFootball’s Liam Prenderville is not impresses with what he’s seen:
Lack of spark and quality in final third is telling.
Great composure and finish from the big striker. Theo/Barkley to change it
– Liam Prenderville (@lprenderville) June 14, 2015
5:49 pm HT: Slovenia 1-0 England England have had their chances and wasted them, Raheem Sterling the most guilty party.%

Hi, after reading this awesome piece of writing i am too happy to
share my knowledge here with colleagues.
Unquestionably imagine that that you said.
Your favorite reason seemed to be on the net the simplest thing to remember of.
I say to you, I certainly get annoyed whilst other people think about issues that they plainly
don’t understand about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest

I think the admin of this web site is really working hard for
his web page, for the reason that here every material is quality based material.
Viral and allergic reactions are destroyed by antiviral,antimicrobial,and antibacterial plants so quickly that the liver and kidneys become overloaded with the die-off toxins..So the worst thing you can pack in your body would be drugs,Tylenol,ibuprofen, acetometaphin,benadryl,etc.and all those fancy pharmaceuticals..milk thistle,dandelions,and a lot of water help. Our livers are working over time because of the antibiotic,preserved,food colored,concentrated high fructose corn syrup,genetically modified everything…bodies can’t heal and function without nutrients.God gave us medicine,it’s free,but it takes work to grow a garden.But I guess we’re too busy buying what the political,pocket lining,brainwashing media is selling..I feel like we’re sitting at an arena show during the reign of the roman empire.. The media in the world today is just a distracting arena show..Praying for e’body.
Stay away from any products containing wheat,oat,barley,and rye…unless you want to wreak havoc on your bowels,skin, and bones…Find some top end probiotics and use some milk thistle every now and again..You’ll feel better and younger than you did when you were a kid.And step away from the HFCS.
Swine flu rash? Have the kids had the chicken pox? Well if they have then that in combination with processed food and cured meats with nitrates aren’t helping. Buy some pure coconut oil,whole coconuts,fresh garlic,turmeric,fenugreek,oil of oregano,oregano,etc….they contain antimicrobial,antiviral,and antibacterial properties..an onset of any viral infection will cause a flare..I’m not a doctor or an expert,just had to do a lot of studying to solve my own health problems…If you take them to a doctor they will only treat symptoms not the virus..They haven’t figured out how to yet…What you put in,food,comes out on your body’s largest organ,skin..common sense…I’m sure the mmr vaccine I was forced to take to get my high school diploma didn’t help matters much either…
Heya i’m for the first time here. I found this board and I to find It truly helpful & it helped me out much.
I’m hoping to give something back and aid others such as you aided me.

my son is 21 mo old. fever started two weeks ago, lasted for 9 days with a range between 99-102f degrees. on day four i brought him to the doctor for his extended fever and cough that was getting slightly worse by the day from the onset. i was told it was a virus, that his ear and lungs were clear. on day 6 we took him to the ER with a ear infection. he was prescribed amoxycilian. i made garlic oil with oregano for his ear. on day 8 his fever subsided. by day 9 his rash started and i took him to the doctor again by the next morning his rash was extensive. due to his age i cant comment on if common flu symptoms were present as he can not fully communicate with me. after his fever broke the rash showed up. he still has a cough tht worrys me. post hives i have given him oatmeal baking soda baths in tepid water and used a calomin lotion as well as given him an antihistamime. i would love to know when and where he contracted this. today, day 13, his rash hives look much better but are not completly gone. he has had the standard
vaccinations. my husband and i feel that this rash or hives is …moving through every cell of his skin. where he has had the hives looks better but new spots in new places have popped up. he has them from head to toe. they have avoided the genitals but have been very large in the groin region. his hives have most resembled the second picture on this article. i have many pictures of theae spots.
I’m still learning from you, while I’m trying to achieve my goals. I certainly liked reading all that is written on your blog.Keep the stories coming. I loved it!

My mother and I are looking to create a weblog similar to this for our website, I stumbled across your site hoping to get ideas on the theme along with layout. I am taking some coding class in college yet, not sure if I would be capable of create a blog like this 1 just yet. Did you code this blog yourself or retain the services of a qualified?
Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wanted to say that I’ve really enjoyed browsing your blog posts. After all I will be subscribing in your rss feed and I’m hoping you write again very soon!
Oh my! Nastly little buggers, 2nd only to lice and easily transmitted. We’ve had regular lice and even had sea lice one time from a Florida beach vacation. We took adavan and antihistamines for itching, and some persription cream too. Start washing beds, towels, the couch, chairs etc in HOT water. Uggh, at least u know what it is.
Thx for letting our readers know. Good Health to you both.
Well, my husband and I got a new diagnosis last Friday, 1/6/12. We both have scabies and are undergoing treatment with Permethrin cream and a tablet from Europe which is supposed to arrive today. I certainly hope this will truly be the end of a terrible 3 and 1/2 months. Don’t know how my husband first got the mite but he did.
Just read the post by Cynthia on Feb. 11, 2011. She described our rash and our experiences precisely. I don’t know if hers lasted as long as my husband’s but I’m sure getting worse and he’s not getting any better. We can rule out Shingles as we know exactly what that is and he had it 30 some years ago. Don’t know about herpes but we will see the dermatologist tomorrow and try to get some answers. We also had a friend who had a flu shot and pneumonia shot, contracted Guillian Barre Syndrome and nearly died. This was probably 10 years ago or so but it has always made me leery of flu shots and I have never had one. Thanks you for answering me. I’ll scratch less even if I’m itching more. My husband is in to his 4th month with this “crap” and I’m entering a second month this week. YUCK!
You are the first we have heard from that offer insight that you may be contagious! Considering your age, have u ruled out the herpes virus, shingles? Acyclovir would be the normally prescribed med. Might be a mersa infection. Ck back w doc and a better year of good health.

My husband got a flu shot 9/21/11. Within a couple of days he had a hive-like rash which has now spread to his entire body and has lasted 3 months. His dermatologist prescribed fluocinonide and doxitrin. After about 2 1/2 months, I contracted the same rash having helped him out of the bathtub and touching his skin. I too, apply fluocinonide prescribed by my doctor. We are totally fed up, distraught and tired of this. He is 81 and did have scarlet fever as a child. He’s not sleeping well what can we do?
A person necessarily assist to make severely articles I’d state. That is the very first time I frequented your website page and up to now? I surprised with the research you made to create this actual post amazing. Fantastic process!
Hi! I have a typical cough/cold flu now. I am 22 years old. 2 days ago I got the ‘sniffles’ then yesterday I started coughing, and this morning I woke up with a rash on the inside of both my wrists, deep in my palms, around my thumbs, and in the arch of my foot. Only itchy when I lightly brushed my hand over it. Daily I take syntheoid, xanax, and klonapin. Since my symptoms started I have been taking musinex and psudophedrine and hitting my albuteral more often. I had my rash for about three hours and then the puffiness went down. Now you can just see red from where it was before. All medication I took I have taken in the past and It definitely was not an allergic reaction.
[…] Less people died from H1N1 than the seasonal flu, even though millions of us caught it with some suffering significant side effects like the Swine Flu Rash, which is still the number one read article here at Ahrcanum- https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2009/10/19/swine-flu-rash-hives-symptoms/. […]
Before giving info, let me just state that I didn’t know I had stomach flu until the fever and vomiting came. Thought it was indigestion or heartburn. On Saturday I felt a little tummy upset, thought it was something I ate (no symptoms other than light nausea and little loose stool). Then I began hurting Saturday night like I had bad heartburn.
Age of Person with Rash: 40
Fever Present? Temperature? I did not have a fever at first, but it hit yesterday afternoon and soared to 103 for a few hours before it broke and has since been low-grade of about 99.
Consistent Flu Symptoms? Irritable, nausea, restlessness/sleepy/fatigued. Sunday high fever came, hives/angiodema, vomiting, sore joints, body aches, etc.
How soon after flu symptoms did rash occur? Well, if it started on Saturday with mild upset tummy then the hives began about 12 hours into it. If it didn’t truly start until Sunday evening (with the fever, vomiting, etc.) then the hives began about 12 hours before.
Was there a seasonal flu vaccine? Was there an H1N1 or FluMist vaccine? No to both.
Did patient’s fever break and symptoms lessen/get worse after the appearance of any rash or hives? As I said, my symptoms got worse after the hives showed up. They have continued to get worse though I no longer am vomiting and the fever has gone down a bit. The hives started around core area (upper thighs, butt, back, rib cage, etc.) but now they are on my feet, arms, hands, face. My hands are now swollen and tender as are my ears and face.
What medications were administered prior to the rash? None. I did have ibuprofen the day before due to some dental work, but have never had an allergic reaction to it before.
What medicines were administered after the rash? Zyrtec for the rash, ibuprofen for headache and then when I thought it was indigestion, chewable antacid, gas-x.
How long did the rash last? It’s still going on…we are just over 24 hours now with no relenting.
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu? Honestly, just rest and letting body heal it.
anything else you can think of? Not right now.
Age 48 bad flu with temp reaching 102.5, severe headache, stomach issues, joint pain, very sore skin around ribcage and thighs, and extreme fatigue. Fever lasted 4 days and I was very tired and slow to recover after fever left. Within 3 days of the fever being gone fatigue still present, joint pain, and sunburn like rash appeared on knees and elbows with the skin itching and hot. I did not get the flu shot this year, nor have I yet seen a dr. is there any point, it sounds like the only thing to do is waite it out.
I too got a rash one week after my flu shot which
Had flu and h1n1 on it. Rashes on my thighs and
Arms only. I took two antihistamines
And it seems to be subsiding.
Makes me doubt another shot in the future
hi i have the similar rashes on my back of my hip i dont know waht to do?????
The rash lasted a little more than 30 hours overall. Disapared quickly overnight.
The fever is gone too and the baby seem to feel better.
The cold symptom (flu???) still there but really minimal. It’s been a week since the begaining of the symptoms (full 7 days of sickness).
Age of person with rash?
Born 10 months ago but was a preemie: 8 months (adjusted age)
Fever present? Temperature?
Yes. First 24-48 hours: 39,4 or 39,5 (103-104 F)
Then now around 38,5 (101F)
Consistent flu symptoms?
Yes
How soon after flu symptoms did rash occur?
Approximately 4 days after first symptoms.
Night before:
Small rash started on the chest and in the diaper.
In the morning:
Disapeared in the diaper…
Then now does a line around the diaper elastic.
Rash in the face that goes away if not in contact with something.
Noon:
Same plus
Rash seem to last longer when not in contact with something… More globulus…
Went to see the doctor: tympanum fine but a little changed in shape… must be viral and linked with a cold (runny nose, red eyes, sneeze, mild loose coughing)
Evening
Same plus…
Rash around the articulation and the arms… Seems to be now around every parts that is in contact with something…
Was there a seasonal flu vaccine?
No.
Was there an H1N1 or FluMist ® vaccine?
No
Did patients fever break and symptoms lesson/get worse after the appearance of any rash or hives?
Yes, the baby is more sleepy and more grumpy…
What medicines were administered prior to the rash? Acetaminophen (oral or suppositories)
What medicines were administered after the rash?
Nothing yet. Will give him eventually Acetaminophen
How long did the rash last?
Started during previous night.. Seems to get worst after 20 hours.
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu?
Acetaminophen, Salinex and patience…
Anything else you can think of?
My 3 years old got a virus last week that started with Gastro symptom but turned to be a flu (light loose coughing). Was really tired… Now feel better but have a runny nose. Still more tired than usual but NO RASH.
Even if it is swine flu- H1N1 or a version of some other flu, most of the cases reported to the CDC this year seem to be rather mild. In our case, after the rash went away/ 48 hours or so, our little patient saw improvement. Seems like the vomiting is probably due to the hard coughing. Just saying, since his is two years old and really can’t accurately describe his ailments, after 7 days we’d be taking him to the doctor. Lots of fluids, no milk, soft foods, rest in the meantime. Hmm, any chance he could have the chicken pox? Sores in his throat would explain the irritation.
Is it to late to post here? I see most of these are from 2009…
I have an almost 2 yrs old son who’s been sick for almost 7 days, no fever but nightly vomiting (always immediately following a coughing fit), coughing and what seems to be a sore throat.
He woke up this morning with a rash on his torso and a tiny patch of rash on his thigh. The largest part of the rash is about 1″ by 2″ on his belly and back and looks like tiny raised hives surrounded by red irritation.
I won’t ask if I should be concerned, because I’m already concerned, but HOW concerned should I be that this is swine flu 2011?

The flu shot in the U.S. does not contain live viruses, so it cannot “give” you the flu. However, the vaccine can trigger an immune response from your body. The nasal flu vaccine, FluMist, is made with weakened live virus and is reccomended for nonpregnant, healthy people between the ages of 2 and 49.
My wife, Cynthia had a “free” flu shot on Wednesday January 20 and on Friday Jan 22 the first hives and sores appeared. The lot number is U3573CA, with manufacturer Sanofi, Fluzone PF.
After 5 weeks the the sores have finally healed the itching is gone. However, she has been on very high-dosed steroids and many other medications (all prescribed for the itching/hives) and now is experiencing new symptoms. Before the vaccine was given, my wife was very healthy. The vaccine obviously did something. At this point, the medications along with her own personal system are now at play. I have lived this 5-week nightmare and I have photos to share and would like to download them. The sores on her body did not manifest on their own. As far as a shrink, you or I would both need someone to talk to…it truly has been an emotional ordeal.
p.s. In previous years I have had the flu shot. After my wifes experience (although it is the exception not the norm),I personally would not risk the flu shot.
Just recovered from a nasty flu that was accompanied by hives during the last few days. Started with muscle aches (myalgia), fever/chills lasting about four days, intensely sore throat followed by laryngitis, and the usual sinus congestion. The hives began to show up on my hands and feet around the fifth night. They’d disappear completely, then reappear the next night. I’m 25 years old, male, living in New York City. I took some photos of the hives and can post them if anyone’s interested.
Children frequently experience hives while combating viral infection. It can happen to adults as well. It’s a fairly common side effect of the immune system’s activity; a sort of overreaction.
I received a seasonal flu vaccine this October with no side effects whatsoever (about four months prior to illness). Because it contained H1N1 vaccine, the odds are I did NOT have that, but a different flu which was not included in this year’s vaccine.
P.S.: It’s too bad this otherwise informative comments thread was nearly derailed by some blowhard (possible hypochondriac) who’d like to attribute her symptoms to a vaccine. Cynthia: please get well, but also find yourself a good shrink. No one is trying to trick you into getting vaccinated against H1N1 and I’ll agree with your own statement that you are certainly uninformed, but you’re also spreading some misinformation. H1N1 vaccine was included in this year’s seasonal flu vaccine because it is deemed *no less safe* than any other vaccine. It cannot infect you with a virus and would probably not cause any of the symptoms you’ve described.
If you believe you may have Guillan-Barré you need to speak to a doctor about that immediately. But:
“The swine flu vaccination in 1976 may have caused rare cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome. However, the swine flu and the regular flu vaccines used today have not resulted in more cases of the illness.”

Another long week…it’s been a month long hell…rash that became more of hives now comes only in the eve and is bearable, but I sedate myself out so much that I am able to get through the 2-3 times I wake. For me, there was a definite change in look, from rash that became sores, that went to small hives, that became bigger welts, that went back to smaller hives. It also traveled onto different places of my body throughout the course of this month. When it comes now, I resist as much as I can, the deep scratching (except when I wake and find I am doing it in my sleep). For me the frustration is that my outside body now looks relatitively “good” except for scarring and lots of scabs. However,the “itch” seems to have gone more “internal” just as it began.
The lot number is U3573CA, with manufacturer Sanofi, Fluzone PF, it was not a live vaccine, nor did it have preservatives, nor did it have latex.
There has been a new development which I need to bring up for discussion…today I took a trip to the ER, but not for the itching. For two days, my feet were numbing, tingling and somewhat hot or cool. Last night my blood pressure went quite high for me. I attributed it to all the meds I am on and all this stress (which in may in fact be). I also for two days just “did not feel right”, “in an altered state”, “off”., again I thought meds., but who knows. Today I woke and my left leg and left arm were weak and numb. I called my doc to come in at 11:30. About 11, I felt some heart twinges. I took myself to the ER. My blood pressure was very high, my temp very low. They did a complete workup for heart problems, nothing. Right when I was released I started itching again, and I lost it. The doctor gave me a shot of decadron. Seems to have helped me with some of the itching for tonight. I know I am be very long winded, insomnia, frustration, anger, fear….new question….my sister is a nurse and just happened upon something I wanted to run by you and the site. Guillian Barre Sydrome. One of the things she read is a description that I had said the first few days, “my skin felt like it was crawling”. That was how it started. I then “ripped” my skin basically off and made sores from itching. I am now experiencing muscle weakness, numbing, my leg feels like it’s kind of dragging and it’s worse than yesterday. I read that it this can occur days to weeks after the vaccine. Am I being paranoid or should I bring this up to my doctor? At this point I feel so out of touch with my body; I don’t know if it’s from medications, side effects, fatigue, stress, emotion, flu shot reaction, or whatever! Help@ And it’s the weekend coming! It’s always that way!! I will never do something uniformed again…I feel pissed that this year’s shot did not say Seasonal/H1n1 shot or Combination shot or All in one! I have always gotten the seasonal, but was adamant last year not to get the H1n1, and just didn’t realize it was combined this year. I’m sure they didn’t want to advertise the fact! Lesson learned by me!
Just reading your symptoms makes us want to pop a xanax too! The pharmacy should have a record of exactly which flu shot you got. Find out the manufacturer and the lot number. All of them have a little tiny fine print warning that includes a possible side effect being rash. As severe as your reaction, you may want to consider reporting it.
The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a national vaccine safety surveillance program co-sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). VAERS is a post-marketing safety surveillance program, collecting information about adverse events (possible side effects) that occur after the administration of vaccines licensed for use in the United States. http://vaers.hhs.gov/index
A reaction between the lamictal and the flu shot could be plausible but not likely probable. After 4 years, it would seem if you were already reducing the dosage, you most likely would have noticed a rash long before the shot.
As always- we’re not medical practitioners….blah blah. Hope you have some relief soon. POST A REPLY TO LET READERS KNOW THE MFG AND LOT # as a precaution.
Three weeks ago yesterday, I impulsively got this year’s flu shot because the local pharmacist offered to see if my insurance covered it. Being the “coupon queen”, I couldn’t believe my good fortune when I found out that this year’s shot was covered 100% by my insurance. Little did I know that I was walking into my own nightmare. Two days later, my body began to feel as if it was tingling under the skin and the following day, small bumps began to appear with the most incredible itching I could imagine. The next several days I slept an average of 3 hours a night, taking tubs and trying all the over-the-counter creams and then remedies from the local homeopathic store. From there I went to my allergist who gave me cortisone cream and tablets, next prednisone tablets and then atarax for sleep and itching. Nothing worked. The worst night I began to feel as if I was going to go crazy and tear the skin right off my legs. My entire body was covered with bumps and sores from itching except for my face, neck, front of chest and soles and palms. At this point, it felt as if my body was crawling and upon my “google” searching I became convinced I must have scabies. I then went to my dermatologist who confirmed what I originally had thought, it must be from the flu shot. I left with a shot of prednisone, some tac with sarna cream and doxepin for itching and sleeping. Again, no relief except the appearance of the bumps now changed to little hives that would appear at different places on my body, which no included my chest and a small area on the sole of one foot. I went to my GP who ordered bloodwork as did my dermatologist a few days later. All looked good. I started going off of lamictal which I have been on for 4 years, thinking maybe it had now become the cause (lamictal has a side effect of rashes, but no one I’ve spoken has ever heard of someone getting it after taking it this long). So far, I still have the rash, but I’m hoping the flu shot triggered the lamictal to become toxic in my body and I will be free of this mess when my body is free of this medication. My husband who watches “House” thought maybe I was allergic to my allergy medication zyrtec, which belief it or not, a very small number of people develop hives and rashes. I went off of that, but I still have the hives. I now see an acupuncturist for the hives and sleep. My dermatologist has put me on 60 mg. of prednisone a day, 2 benadryl every 4 hours, 2 claritin AM/PM, 2 pepcid AM/PM, and 75 mg. doxepin to sleep and stop the itch (which doesn’t work). The appearance of the hives has now changed to a larger size or sometimes it is not even seen. However, when an “attack” hits, the old “sores” turn bright red and so does whatever is new. Into the bath/shower I go. Yesterday afternoon I felt hopeful as I went the day without much itch at all. I found this website and then had an awful itching, terrible sleep night (and now I have added 1.5 xanax to the mix). I feel as if I’m a walking pharmacy, but knocking me mostly out, allowed me to wake from the itch, scratch like mad, but feel too tired to get up and get into the bath, so I would spray bactine on (oh, that works a bit, too as does Gold Bond medicated powder and cream) and then crash again. There is a an iv called solumedrol (for extreme allergic reactions) that is only administered in the hospital, but my body probably does not look bad enough anymore to get admitted. Wondering if anyone has tried this. I’m sure anyone who is experiencing this or has a loved one knows that “itching” sounds like such a nothing word compared to what is actually going on.
By the way, I am a 52 year old otherwise healthy female. No other symptoms to report before or after except rash and hives with uncontrollable itching. I welcome anyone who has experienced relief and how they found it to please write me personally and/or by posting. Thank you. olovely58@sbcglobal.net
Jeesh! Could be a whole number of things but from our perspective anyone who has had the flu with the rash seems to take longer to get back to 100%. Vitamins, Rest, Eat well, the usual stuff. Not too sure about the arthritis flair ups in your joints tho. Could be a herpes type virus, that sometimes comes and goes and effects joints. Some have tried Tylenol PM for the stiffness but we’re not doctors so the usual disclaimer applies.

I had the worst part of flu for a week but still a week later I was still suffering from high temperature and fever at nights and general unwell, tired feeling. I also had very itchy skin (but no rash at this point)
At the end of the 2nd week I went to the doctor and he said I had a secondary infection from the flu and gave me a weeks worth of antibiotics.
I am at the end of the third week now and my flu symptoms and fever seem to have dissppeared (I am still fatigued a little sometimes) but now I have a rash all over my body (thighs, stomach, back, chest, arms and neck).
At 3 weeks I am getting a little fed up of being ill and wondering if its just a case of waiting? I couldnt afford to take too much time off work whilst with flu so Im wondering whether the delayed recovery is due to not resting enough and having a lot of stress in my life at the moment.
Any advice or simialr symptoms I’d love to hear from as I am starting to get worried that there is seriously something wrong with me!
Also my joints are starting to ache a little, which worries me because 4 years ago I had to quit uni because I had arthritis in all my joints for 3 months and no one could work out why. Im praying this doesnt come back!
My 11 year old son contracted the flu and started with symptoms on a Friday. He had bodyaches, fever, severe chills, vomiting on the 3rd day and subsequently had vomiting for 3 nights, severe congestion, coughing horribly, started getting better by the following Saturday. Then woke up with the beginning of hives. It got progressivly worse and half his back, knees, ankles, neck, feet, hands and arms were covered in a red patches that look just like the photos here. I took photos and I wish I could post. He’s in a lot of pain with the hives.
One week prior to my son’s flu, my youngest daughter was diagnosed with Influenza B, so we just assummed that’s what my son had, although we did not test for him. He is not vaccinated for the flu. I just don’t remember these kind of illnesses as a child…
[…] rash symptoms Posted on January 29, 2011 by editor Swine Flu Rash, Hives Symptoms « Ahrcanum Ahrcanum Conspiracy, HAARP, Earthquakes, Volcano’s, Weather Modification, H1N1, Swine Flu, […]
My son is 9 months old and started with a fever that lasted 5 1/2 days. It reached to 104. He was extremely fussy, irritable, and, restless. He has a bad cough and runny nose. He tested positive for the flu. He broke out in a rash on day 7. I took him to doc and we went straight to hospital. They did x-ray and blood work which came back fine but rash got worse even with benadryl. Today is day 9 and his rash is slowly getting better. I believe it was the swine flu.
Age of person with rash? 40
Fever present? Temperature? Occurred at normal temp. Low grade fever the week prior, with unconfirmed flu (99-101F). Continued sporadic low-grade fever with sinus infection.
Consistent flu symptoms? Low-grade fever, dry cough, congestion, body aches, chills. Suspected flu, but unconfirmed. All the typical flu symptoms lasting about a week. It seemed mild for a flu, however family members who had the flu shot did not get sick. Live in NY, where flu is currently widespread. Sinus infection followed, treated with antibiotics which began after the first appearance of hives/rash. This is the worst and most painful sinus infection I recall. I’m prone, but usually I can prevent or fight them with the neti pot and drinking lots of liquids. (Better this than pneumonia, though.) Doctor said that hives sometimes occur with flu.
How soon after flu symptoms did rash occur? Within 1-2 days of illness winding down.
Was there a seasonal flu vaccine? No
Was thre an H1N1 or FluMist ® vaccine? No
Did patients fever break and symptoms lesson/get worse after the appearance of any rash or hives? No. Apparent flu was winding down.
What medicines were administered prior to the rash? Various OTC over the course of a week, such as Tylenol, Tylenol sinus, Robitussin cough medicine.
What medicines were administered after the rash? 1) First occurrence, Benadryl. Rash disappeared within hours. Same night, had a reaction to lip balm (lip swelling), and took Claratin 24 hour for that. I’ve used this same brand of lip balm for years, never a problem! 2) 2nd occurrence began after antibiotic regimen for sinus infection. Reappeared about when the earlier Claratin dose wore off, so that may have kept it at bay. Hives are also a side effect of antibiotic, so watching that carefully. So far, so good.
How long did the rash last? 1) Disappeared within hours with Benedryl, 2) Disappeared within hours with Claratin (preferred b/c non-drowsy).
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu? Rest. Tylenol or Tylenol sinus for congestion. Neti pot for nasal congestion. Hot tea, soup. No dairy, because it thickens mucous. Stay home to avoid spreading.
Anything else you can think of?
Thanks for gathering this info in once place, and giving others the opportunity to comment. It’s always good to know that others are seeing similar symptoms. I am grateful for a good doctor who listens and takes my concerns seriously, and takes notes of trends when he sees them in his patients.

I had a 3 days virus type flu and now a hives rash on my upper legs by the hips. It started with a severe itch for 3 days and now the rash is noticeable. I hope it goes aways with benadryl.
You wrote, “I’m pretty sure that the hives and flu like symptoms are a product of the H1N1 virus.” We’d be inclined to add, the virus in the vaccine. One more reason for keeping track of the vaccine manufacturer and lot number for people who do choose immunizations. If there is a localized problem it can be addressed before more people get a jab.

What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu?
Anything else you can think of? I work in a hospital and at first I was told that the hives were an allergic reaction to latex or possibly a stress reaction. After patients and employees started recieving a combination seasonal and H1N1 flu vaccine, many other nurses and aides on my unit started breaking out in hives and they were told that it was a possible reaction to the vaccine. A patient on the floor also had hives, doctors said they were not sure of the cause. I’m pretty sure that the hives and flu like symptoms are a product of the H1N1 virus
We would recommend when in doubt, see your medical practitioner for advice.
Our kids rallied thru the day but at night got worse too, maybe time for another dose of meds? Speedy recovery! In our case it took 3 or so days for the rash to be completely gone but sensitive skin to hot/ cold showers for a week or so. Now fine.
My son (13) has had hives break out in the evening for two days. Temp 99.5-102.9. Best relief with motrin and benadryl 50 mg liquid. No soar throat. Some upper respiratory symptoms, aches and fatigue are present. The first night he had dizziness with the rash but not the second night. Each morning he seems to be better but by evening he feels worse.
What signs would you recommend seeking treatment.

I had not gotten a flu shot of any kind since the 1976 swine flu vaccine. Almost exactly one hour after getting the shot, I experienced a burning feeling start at the crown of my head and quickly spread down to my feet. No previous allergies to chicken or eggs.
The weird part is I have had the same reaction every 8 days — like clockwork — since getting the shot in early October. 125 mg of Benadryl (way over recommended dosage) relieves the symptoms after a couple of hours.
Would a steroid shot help?
Age of person with rash? 9

What medicines were administered prior to the rash? Zyrtek, Amoxacillin (no prior allergy)
What medicines were administered after the rash? Benedryll, steroids, vicodin, antinausea meds
How long did the rash last? over a week
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu? nothing, she was in agonizing pain
Anything else you can think of? We went in to the dr for allergies and got prescribed zyrtek and amox. to clear up any sinus infection then they gave her the flu mist nose vaccine. Two days later she became achy and had a fever but only lasted 24 hrs. Then 5 days later she developed a rash that the drs said didn’t look like an amox. allergy so to keep taking it. Went back the next day after the rash getting 10xs worse and they said to take her off but it still didn’t look like amox. allergy. The third day she developed a fever and severe joint pain and joint swelling….went to ER. They ran bloodwork and pretty much said they didn’t know, but they knew what it wasn’t…so it wasn’t serious. She had the fever on and off but was lethargic, not eating/drinking, rash only itched on top of head, feet, and spine. Took her back on day 5 to dr because she couldn’t walk and she was in agonizing pain. He just gave her steroids and vicodin for the pain. I think this is something in the flu vaccine, but of course the dr’s wouldn’t even consider it. One person wrote that there was mono in one vaccine and I know that it reacts with amox. in the same way….. who know, but hope this helps!
Jake- Just a thought—if you had the flu, you have immunity built up and most likely do not need a flu shot. ck w dr and be well.
I’m a 47 year old male… active, fit and normally healthy.
I developed flu like symptoms about a month ago (Sept 2010). Significant body ache that started in my back (kidneys?) and spread from there.
After a day or two I developed a redish spotty rash that covered my body from my mid thighs to my neck. I had a fever that bounced up and down for 4 to 5 days. Strange thing about this bug was I had no sore throat, no cough, no chest congestion, and no sinus or nasal congestion problems.
I did have a bad headache and was very weak/tired.
My doctor sent me for a bunch of urine and blood tests. He said he had only seen a rash like that once or twice in his career. Apparently the tests were inconclusive but he says it was (probably?) viral.
The rash did not raise the skin. It “blanched” if the skin was pulled taught in a small area.
It was a VERY nasty bug. I was too sick to even watch TV. It completely kicked my ass for a solid week.
All this was before I heard any talk in the news about the flu shot being available this fall.
I’m fine now, but sure hope I don’t ever get that sick again.
I’m going to get the flu shot soon.
I got my flu shot today 10/18/2010 about 130 pm. i’m a caucatin male 57 years old
i have no flue symptoms i have developed a rash on my leg just above the ankle its not a raised welt type just a red and itchy patch i applied calamine lotion to take care of the itch i am feeling great

A nickel allergy? Maybe the only thing that is going to happen is that you are going to give your doctor’s a whole bunch more nickels that add up to hundreds of medical bills. Be well 🙂
hi, interesting read – I am 62 – I had swine flu the middle of Nov. 09 – I did not have a vaccine. about 10 days after the flu symptoms stopped I started breaking out with a rash. I have spent mega bucks at family dr. and allergy specialist. here it is 7 months later and I’m still fighting the rash and… they cant seem to find what I’m allergic to. Now they are checking out a nickel allergy. I have suspected the flu all along! this is rediculous!!! thanks
At least in our case, our 10 year old who had the rash has maintained the same allergy problems. Good for you whatever the correlation, and hope others are as lucky! Nice to breathe easy.
I know this sounds insane, but since the rash I’m not the same. I used to be the sickliest thing you ever met… allergic to everything, first to catch every cold around etc etc…
This is the insane part: since the rash I appear to be cured of all allergies and have yet to get a sniffle. Four months of colds & flu taking out my whole office one by one and I’m the last one standing again and again.
Around here (southern Italy) allergy season starts in February, peaking in May, and since I can remember I’ve spent allergy season (both Spring and Fall) on a regular daily dose of antihistamines supplemented by ventolin and a steroid inhaler during peak allergy time.
This year, for the first time in my adult life (to be accurate, longer than that – since I was 13 or so), June has come and I haven’t even taken one antihistamine!
Have anyone else’s allergies disappeared completely since hives?
Bull shit its from the H1N1 shot please write to my email. Email me pic and and dates and times of shots.. We have to fight to get a cure from the goverment and Im going to start today here…Please leave address where shots were taken all info to help…Your phone numbers ect we will protest for a cure…Keep in touch with me and we together will fight for answers.

Just as irritating as the itch, is what is causing the itch.
I also have the rash. I havent had the flushot. I havent had any noticeable fevers. This rash started about 2 weeks ago, after I was on a medication for thyroid. But, I also had this rash last year for about 2 months off and on.. I am at a loss as to what is causing it. On dr said it was contact dermatitis, but I had it no matter what I did, or where I was. And I hadnt changed any soaps…

I have a 6 yr old son that was sick for 2 weeks with a low grade fever off and on and mild cough. We finally took him to the doctor where he was tested and diagnosed with H1N1. Tamiflu was prescribed, and most all symptoms ceased a week ago. Wednesday of this week he woke up covered head to toe in clusters of red hives. The doctor diagnosed him with chicken pox, which I rejected from the start. He now has ruled out chicken pox and is stumped. They are sending me in a few minutes to see a dermatologist- I am printing this page to take with me. Our regular doctor insists that hives as a result of H1N1 or the medications would not take this long to show up.
Hives after Cough/Sore throat
My boyfriend and i are so confused as we both has similar reoccuring breakouts of hives following a cold or flu:
Approx. 3-5 days into Cold/Excessive coughing – but cold symptoms mostly gone woke up with patches of itchy large hive-like bumps sometimes in groups but in all areas of the body.
Subsided after 2 days but then very mild sore throat reoccurs and then next morning itchy red hives in some location (varies) reoccur. This morning I woke up with 2 hives on my right foot – both extremely itchy.
Glad little Junebug is on the mend. What a battle! There is a product originally used by farmers called Udder Cream- it is now marketed for dry skin and works wonders on my rough farm hands even tho we do not have cows.
I get sensitive to skin stuff that has Methylparaben found in a ton of products and made from bees, but this one never bothers me and have put it on my face with no irritation. google it to find it and maybe it will help. Also, it is inexpensive! Thanks for keeping us posted!
Junebug…from Dec. 28 her pictures of her rash. She is better but her skin is so dry and rough.
Your are welcome. Never easy when it is a child, good luck at the doctors.
I noticed these same rashes on my three year olds feet the night before last. They started out small but didn’t seem to bother him much. My first guess what he had gotten ring worm some how so that’s how I treated it– with cream before bed. Not even an hour later they seemed to be almost gone completely. But earlier today they reappeared and looked worse than before (more like the picture above). I’ve taken him to immediate care and was practically blown off like it was nothing. After reading this I am most certainly taking him back in NOW. Thank you.
There was a recall on the flu mist and a some lots of h1n1. maybe ask the dr what lot number your vaccine was from and if it was one of those that was recalled after you got vaccinated. Chronic idiopathic hives- also known as, duh- you have hives. Better health to u.
30 y.o female, recieved H1N1 vaccine the end of october/09 two days after started breaking out in hives… now four and a half months later I still have them… some days worse than others… every doctor Ive seen seems to think its not related.. saw and allergist and was diagnosed with chronic idiopathic hives

Thank you for the extended commentary! Glad the hee bee gee bee’s are gone and for providing an opportunity for others to read your well heeded suggestions.
I’m so happy to say I’ve been hives-free for over a month now!
I was in agony for almost the entire month of December, then in January I was able to keep the hives at bay with Zyrtec+Zantac (actually the prescription version: Levocetirizine 5mg +Ranitidine 150mg once a day), but each time I tried to stop the meds the rash would come back, although ever less aggressive, in a matter of a day or two.
Toward the end of January I started to take the meds only once every 2 days, then 3 and so on, to see how long I could go without. I’ve now been completely off the meds since the beginning of February, and so far so good.
I still have some residual splotchy scars on the inside of my arms and the outside corner of my eyes but they’ve almost completely faded now, with no intervention on my part. To be honest they don’t bother me in the least… I’ll take splotchy scars over what I was afraid might become a lifetime of itchy torture any day!
This morning I was running a slight fever (everyone in my office is sick), and freaked out that the hives would come back – since every time they broke out I’d feel really hot, and heat itself seemed to trigger them – and when it didn’t happen, in my relief I remembered this site and realized it was time to post for others who come here in hopes of figuring out if it will ever go away.
In my case, it did. I can’t stress enough how much support this blog post provided me throughout the ordeal, and I hope others who have not yet posted a followup are doing better too.
A few suggestions for those looking for ideas to get better (not medical advice, of course – just my own experience):
– Stay out of the heat. No hot showers and absolutely no wool turtlenecks! Or wool anything, for that matter. Anything that irritates your skin makes the situation worse.
– During a hives attack, try to stay calm and down. If you can, take a walk outside in the cool air, or take a cool shower. Walks were especially helpful to me, as keeping circulation going seemed to help a lot.
– If you’ve been given Benadryl and it does nothing but lull you to sleep, do ask your doctor about taking Zyrtec instead. They tried quite a few antihistamines on me with no result – one (unfortunately I forget the name), actually made things much worse – and I was given ridiculous amounts of corticosteroids, which just made me weak and miserable. The only thing that worked was Zyrtec+Zantac, and it worked well. It took about 3 days to kick in, after which I still got spots but they were tiny and itched much less, and within about 10 days even the spots stopped coming as long as I remembered to take the meds.
I think I should also mention that my doctor has finally seen the light and agrees that the hives were likely due to an overreaction to virus antibodies. At this point, it’s impossible to pinpoint the virus, but H1N1 is certainly the prime suspect, and he has since seen a few cases of children with the same problem.
My best wishes to everyone going through this. Get better soon!
Daughter’s hives is gone this morning and everything seems back to normal. Must add that the extreme heat is also gone and hives could be a heat rash. Never got heat rashes or any kind of hives before though.
Also called my son this morning enquiring about his father’s condition at the time he was ill. My son took his father to the docter for treatment in Cape Town. It seems the father was treated for a tummy virus. Symptoms was flue with cough, nasua, pain in chest, breathing problems, could not eat, was very tired. It seems blood tests were done but not sure if tested for H1N1 and no one mentioned any rash.

What medicines were administered prior to the rash? Andolex Spray for sore throught, Panado for fever and Pain, Vicks VapoRub for breathing.

How long did the rash last? Going on for 3 weeks now
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu? Panado and Vicks Rub. It seems as if the Andolex used for the sore throught triggered the hives.
Anything else you can think of? I am from South Africa and never realised my daughter could have had this H1N1 illness. Not even the docter today considered this for one moment. Simply assumed some allergic reaction even after I wanted some blud tests done the doctor simply replied it will cost to much with little chance on conclusive results.
She could have contracted this from her father who visited her from Cape Town a week earlier. We are in Pretoria. Apparently he was very ill and he told her that the baby half sister back at home seems to have measels. It was strange for me as this is not the first time they mentioned that the kid has measels. Did not give much attention at the time though.
Age of person with rash? 11
Fever present? Temperature? Fever a week ago, up to 100 F (my son runs a normal temp of about 97.8 F) Fever lasted about one week. Out of school 3 days.
Consistent flu symptoms? Severe congestion, runny, stuffy nose, cough, sore throat, stiff neck, loss of appetite
How soon after flu symptoms did rash occur? about 2 days after fever broke
Was there a seasonal flu vaccine? no
Was thre an H1N1 or FluMist ® vaccine? no
Did patients fever break and symptoms lesson/get worse after the appearance of any rash or hives? Fever broke, symptoms lesseened, then rash broke out.
What medicines were administered prior to the rash? two doses (on 2 evenings) of Nyquil so that he could at least sleep through the congestion. One dose of Dayquil his 2nd day of illness. Nothing he hasn’t been exposed to previously.
What medicines were administered after the rash? one dose of children’s Benadryl.
How long did the rash last? has had it three days now.
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu? Rest, liquids.
Anything else you can think of? No confirmation of H1N1, but I’ve heard that that’s what people are getitng up here. Other family members were sick without the rash.
His rash is patchy, appears on legs, torso, trunk, face, hands, feet… seemingly anywhere. There are raised white welts that quickly turn red and also clusters of red blisters. He hasn’t gotten into anything strange and we have not introduced any new fragrances/ soaps/ foods, to the family.
Poor Kid. He is usually the quickest to recover from illness, and often goes to school sick (as he normally doesn’t exhibit symptoms or fever with viral infections). He had this thing for over a week.
Just curious why you decided to vaccinate now when the trends for H1N1 are declining?
One of my patients developed a rash shortly after getting the vaccine and it seemed to last about 6 weeks. She also found that hot showers aggravated it. In past, she had no reactions to vaccines.
daughter, age 16 received H1N1 vaccine on 2/15. Rash developed on one side of neck, ear and upper back 2 days later. Slight itch, nothing bothersome. So far, that is the only symptom of an apparent reaction to the shot. We can not attribute it to anything else.
Update! It took about 2 months for the hives to totally go away. I switched to a no perfume/scent laudry liquid & Ivory bath soap. (Any scented thing that touched my body set the hives off again) Don’t take hot showers or wear too much clothes to sleep in!(Heat makes the hives worse!) Zyrtex calms the hives down (No iching) & you will need a steriod lotion on the hives. Good luck, you will get pass this!

Rash is on second day, no improvement.
fever broke day 4, felt better and rash appeared below the waist line on lower extremities. Going to the clinic for a blood draw to confirm H1N1
Seeing as there is no seasonal flu, you probably had Swine. Sorry you got the heebeegeebees.
I am a male age 54 and had severe flu for 4-5 days last week (started Tuesday evening), severe congestion, thumping headache, sneezing and feeling very tired. Didnt have that high of a temperature but one day during the flu (day 3) I was sweating quite alot.
By Saturday (day 5) was feeling better and went back to work on Monday.
Didnt go to the doc, so no confirmation that the flu I had was swine flu. Braved it out but had to spend 3 days in bed.
Flu has now gone and seven days after have developed hives with severe itching on both arms, back of legs, hips and waistline.
Onset of the hives was on Sunday evening and then the next day(Mon) almost dissappeared. However a return to more severe hives returned at bedtime on Monday night and still severe now on Tuesday morning.
Itching is unbearable today so will be making an appointment to see doc later.

Anything else you can think of? i wish someone knew what to do for our children, this is sad.
I am one of the people who got the rash right after the h1n1. It seemed to flare up in the morning when I had my coffee, so I thought that might be intensifying it. But when I stopped the niacin, the rash went away. Are any of the people with rashes taking niacin? Or high dose multiple vitamins? He says that niacin can cause rashes even if you haven’t been vaccinated. He did acknowledge that itching is a side effect, which many doctors don’t.
I never got the vaccine, but I did have H1N1 and I got the rash. I think it’s from the flu. My rash is gone now, but I had it for about 2 months.
Well good news,my rash is gone but strangley enough I am still itching. Is anyone else experiencing this?
My father in law went to the doctor because he got sick also, but he had no rash at all.
His doctor said…”You dont seem to have the swine flu rash.” So apparently some doctors ARE aware of this. I am in Virginia, so dont know if location would help or not, but thought I would post that for informations sake. I am still wondering why this information is not mainstream in the medical community.
Also since I never got the vaccine my rash was not a side effect of that. But am wondering if the vaccine changed the makeup of the virus creating the rash and passing it on to others…
Get well everyone!
Nope you aren’t crazy! After ruling out everything else, you like most people have come to the conclusion that the rash seems to be a side effect of the vaccine for some people.
be well, soon!
Had the H1N1 vaccine Jan 7. No immediate reaction of any kind, but starting Jan. 10, started getting a few hives here and there. That continued until Jan. 21 when the occurence of hives started spreading-hands, chest, feet, legs….. Saw dr., but he didn’t think it could have anything to do with the vaccine, as he had never seen any reaction to it as what my hives looked like. I’m taking Benadryl at night, but don’t want to be drowsy while at work during the day. Just broke out with a new batch today and am getting veryyy TIRED of itching. I’m glad for this site, as I was beginning to think I was crazy. I, too, like an earlier person posted, could not think of anything new I’d eaten, any new product I’d used, etc. The only different thing I’d experienced was the H1N1 shot. (Had the seasonal flu shot earlier with no ill effects.)

What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu? I will never take tamiflu again and don’t think it should be prescribed unless one has gone through all the side effects. My dr. said nothing and the pharmacist said I’d get an upset stomach.

How long did the rash last? 4 days on then 1 day off and then this is day 2 again
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu? I don’t think he has had the flu so it’s kind of a weird case
Anything else you can think of? The dr said she doesn’t think it is because of the seasonal or h1n1 shots, she thinks he has a viral infection that is causing the hives. She said it could last as long as 3 weeks and to call her if he starts getting a bruised look or a lacy look to the hives. I’m glad I found this website – good luck to all affected and those of us dealing with the affected!!!
You’d be the first that I know of that got Paxil! A quicker recovery 2 u.
Our kids are very prone to yeast. The mildest most generic form of Monistat over the counter usually helps on face breakouts from drooling to the potty parts. Silly as it sounds, toothpaste also aggravates one daughter’s chin area so we are constantly buying new toothbrushes and pastes. Might give the Monostat a try on her arms or legs to judge the reaction.; we reiterate we are not giving medical advice here!
Would have thought that the oil would act as a “sealant” of sorts even though it is a wonderful moisturizer. Glad it worked for you. BTW, the very very best olive oils say FIRST COLD PRESSED, which is the most flavorful, but usually the most expensive- and so worth it to dip w bread and cheese. Wouldn’t fry w this tho! Good eating and good health.
I experience the flu followed by a rash just like the one in the picture above. I had cold/flu like symptoms followed by a blotchy rash over my thighs, bum and up my sides but not on my tummy or back. It wasn’t very itchy. I resorted to having several baths with half a cup of baking soda in the water each time and this calmed the redness right away. After each bath I rubbed virgin olive oil over the the target areas to avoid dryness. My rash was gone by the next day.

My hands shaking as I type, arm red and burning itch.
ahrcanum…I think the rash is some form of flu yes. Maybe from the shot or is spread like the flu.
Junebug having problem in her private area daughter was told she has a yeast infection plus she still has the rash. This baby girl is like sunshine and it just kills me to watch this. Rash is much better.

Good Luck- so your thinking the flu itself and not the vaccine? I don’t wish anything bad to happen to anyone but as thousands have died from the flu, your right, I don’t recall one “VIP” dying.
More than half your residents have the rash? What about the staff? What state r you in?
I think it is part of the Swine flu this season which the systoms have changed for some.
My granddaughter got the vaccine and the live virus in the vaccine she could not fight off and has had a rash for over 50 days now.
1-877-FLU-4141 is a phone number in my state Missouri for help or questions regarding H1N1. It might help.
My fear is nothing will be done until someone of importance or a famous person dies. Then everyone will be saying what happened? How could this happen? Duh?
Steroids and an antihistamine help our Junebug.
She has seen six doctors and scabie was a diagnosis. Not Scabies! It is a form of Swine Flu. Just because you are not puking and other fun thing does not mean you don’t have H!N1 or another type of virus.
Just wait until some VIP gets it and them all hell will break.
I do not have a medical background just common sense.
Doctor told us to use vaseline.
I have pictures post of Junebug rash above. Take a look.
Hey, I work in a nursing home. We have been fighting a terrible rash since last June, July with our residents. Horrible horrible itching, pin point raised red bumps on arms, trunks, upper legs, hands, fingers, feet. All mostly the same but a few with varying symptoms. 30 residents now out of 55 that have the rash. Several staff also with same symptoms. Most of the residents that can communicate say it is driving them crazy and literally it is. Dermatology consults on some, no definite diagnosis. 2-3 with scrapings for scabies, same with staff a few went and got scraped. Still no one will diagnosis positive. We have treated some with the Elimite cream with relief of symptoms for awhile. No one will dx scabies! Now the Dr.’s are saying it is the rash from H1N1. Only the seasonal fluvac was given, early Oct. No H1N1 vac was given. No temps. The longest and worse cases now have thick scaley patches on hands and feet. The lesions get so bad that they are become infected on a couple of the residents. Treating them with Triamcinolone/Eucerin cream with little relief of the severe itching. Benedryl and Atarax with little relief. Cannot corolate to any specific medication or antibiotic. Any ideas out there?
Yes – I got the rash at the beginning of November and still have it on my legs and back. The hives that came up first, on my arms are gone now and the rest seem to be getting better now too. I also had the splotchy marks, but that eventually went away on my arms. I think it just takes a really long time to go away.
I posted in late November about having what I thought was the H1N1 virus and I broke out in severe hives from head to toe with the worst being on my upper legs and stomach. As of today, I am still dealing with the scars from these hives. Has anyone else been left with splotchy marks from the hives? I have been using Palmers Cocoa butter and it seems to be helping some and they are getting better but it’s taking a looooong time.
Gianotti-Crosti! The rash of Gianotti-Crosti syndrome (GCS) usually has sudden onset and may be associated with an acute infectious illness or immunization. The rash is usually present for 2-4 weeks but can last as long as 4 months. http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/911275-overview
Six doctors later to make the connection to the H1N1 vaccine?
Really, consider reporting it along with the lot number that she received and who mfg it. Let us know too.
We’d keep an eye out on futher immunizations for JuneBug (posted by Good Luck,) since obviously her little body can not tolerate something in the vaccine with out consequences.
This one is good!
Friend had the Flu doctor gave her antibiotic doxycycline. (which don’t help the flu) She did not take all the medicine she was feeling better. (bad)
She started having problems breathing about a week after the flu. She could not move her left arm at all.
It has been two months. She has seen an orthopedic, pulmonologist and a neurologist.
She has been told by all three doctors is if from the flu and it could take a long time to recover. She was never told if it was seasonal or H1N1.
Her diaphragm is paralyzed which it making it hard for her to breathe. She has been going to physical therapy for her arm.
She is not getting better. She told all the doctors what the first doctor said and the all agree it is from the flu.
She is around 50 years old otherwise good health.
Did not get a flu shot seasonal or H1N1.
This is what I know and it does not sound right.

Sixth doctor diagnosed Junebug with Gianotti-Crosti. Rash is getting better.

I was starting to get better when i noticed hives appearing on my feet, hands and knees. I immediately took benadryl to treat the hives. The next day, after a hot shower, my entire legs were covered with hives! I took two benadryl pills and went to the emergency room. The doctor assured me that the hives would leave within the next couple of days and suggested that i continue to take benadryl when outbreaks start. Now, i take 3-4 benadryl pills a day to control the hive outbreaks…

Thanks Desperea Maculata, Ahrcanum & Good Luck!
12 hours after taking Zyrtec/Zantac & the hives stinging is about 90% gone. The hives are also not as raised & not as red.
My doctor felt it was a reaction to a virus, but didn’t come out & say it was a reaction to the H1N1 shot. I will contact her with this website.
Alot of time at Kaiser Permanente Hospital doctors are seeing massive amount of people & don’t have the time to explain everything to patients. I felt like something was very wrong, I had never had any hives before & they covered my entire torso & was speading down my limps.
Knowing that the hives are related to the H1N1 Mist, gives me peace of mind. Knowing that people are sharing their worries & cures that have worked for them is heaven.
God Bless & good luck! I’ll keep everyone updated on how long the hives last.
basalla
Please direct doctor to this website. Doctors are human but seem to very close minded sometimes. According to several doctors we seen H1N1 would not cause a rash.
We took finally took my granddaughter to a Children’s hospital not a family practice doctor. Your family doctor will catch up sooner or later but the Children’s hospital seem to be on top of it.
ahrcanum
maybe be can add H1N1 to the list of allergic reaction that causes Erythema multiforme
ahrcanum..thanks for the mitten idea but I can’t even get her to keep her socks on.
Michael
Good luck my granddaughter tried all those lotions. Does your know about the H1N1 vaccine? I am sure your doctor will tell you H1N1 had nothing to do with your rash. Please direct him to this website. Doctors are human but seem to very close minded sometimes. According to several doctors we seen H1N1 would not cause a rash. LOL
The only thing that helped her was steroids and an antihistamine.
I had the swine flu the week before halloween and I still have the rash, although it is now almost gone. About 2 months. My doctor suggested I take benedryl, but that stuff makes me crazy, so I waited it out. Moisterizers seem to help.
49 Year Male, Redondo Beach, CA
One week after getting the H1N1 shot I got Hives. After 2 weeks my entire torso is covered with hives. (Smaller & more compact than the photo!)
Hot/warm showers make the hives go into overdrive.
Went to the doctor & got Triamcinolone Acetonide Lotion & was told to take Benadryl. The lotion didn’t take a edge off the hives & who could stay awake after taking Benadryl.
I will try Zyrtec/Zantac thanks Desperea Maculata & Ahrcanum.
You have no ideal how relieved I am after reading these post.
How long did it take for your hives to go away completely?
Junebug is so much better after 4 days of steroids and an antihistamine. One day of steroids left and we will see if the rash stays gone. Bumps on her body still there and have gone down, reddish color is gone. Her cheeks are still red, her cheeks were the last place the rash appeared.
This had to be a reaction to the H1N1 vaccine. Junebaug had a sinus infection and has a cold. Perfectly healthy otherwise. She also enjoys chasing her brother with a booger on her finger. lol
Remember this rash started the day after her second dose of H1N1. I feel it was just too much for her system.
I have had two kids that had the Swine Flu and both have the same rash. One was on Amoxicillan for an ear infection that developed due to the Swine Flu. The other was on Amoxicillan for an ear infection which also developed and Tamiflu to help ease the symptoms of Swine Flu. After the cough and fever were gone, about 9 days after the first Swine flu symptoms started, they both broke out into the exact same rash seen on the pictures here. I have called CDC and they sent me to FDA who wouldn’t help because they didn’t get the vaccine so it is obviously not vaccine related. CDC can’t find any info on a rash with Swine Flu? I have been to the pediatrician twice in the last two days due to the rash and he thinks both are having an allergic reaction to Amoxicillan. I really think the rash is related to the Swine Flu. I am relieved to know there are others out there. Both kids are now on Benedryl and the doctor recommended to start Zytec the help ease the itching from the rash. Zyrtec is easier he said because you only give it once, Benedryl is given a couple times a day.
wonder if sleeping with little cotton mittens might help as in the case with infants who scratch. just a passing thought.
FYI readers…Erythema multiforme is an exaggerated allergic reaction that may be triggered by the following: medications, such as some drugs used to treat diabetes, seizures, and tuberculosis, as well as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), some antibiotics, and barbituratesinfections with viruses, such as herpes simplex, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, chickenpox, or poliomyelitis infections with bacteria, such as tularemia, tuberculosis, gonorrhea, or certain types of pneumoniafungal infections, such as histoplasmosiscancer, such as leukemia, a type of blood cancerpregnancyradiation therapy http://health.discovery.com/encyclopedias/illnesses.html?article=104 Let’s hope by Jan 8th it has cleared up! pneumoniafungal infections caught my attention tho as being pneumonia like symptoms associated w Swine in severe cases although I believe they are calling it respitory distress syndrome. Keep us posted
Junebug is still the same. Diagnosed with Erythema Multiforme appointment with Dermatologists Jan. 8, 2010 at St. Louis Children’s Hospital.
oh poor little thing! hope doesn’t have to take steroids for so long- they can really wreak havoc. I’d be crabby too!
Pictures taken Dec. 27, 2009 before bed.
31 Days with Rash
Went to 5th doctor. Junebugs Dad felt they knew what they are talking about so we will see.
Stated since she is not running a fever her body is fighting a virus and continue with steroids and an antihistamine. Doctors stated it could take several months to clear up. This scares me since I have been down this road before.
Junebug spent the night with me last night (grandma) mom is getting over surgery. Before we went to bed her rash was bright red because she fell asleep on me while rocking her. (Body heat) I kept her cool all night with light top and diaper only on. Rash looked better in the morning not bright red but rash got worse on her face through the day.
Congested a little and she is crabby unlike her.
Yes. tested for strep. Negative
Calling her doctor again tomorrow.
Her rash got bright red tonight before bed and has spread to her left side of face on her cheek.
She is sleeping very restless and trying to scratch.
I will have my daughter report the rash she has all the information.
just a thought— junebug been tested for strep?
Poor junebug. We’d guess the rash is worse in the morning just as a natural occurrence of the body producing heat while we sleep, which can apparently aggravate the rash. Although a prior poster complained of being aggravated by cold. Wish we had more to offer but 30 days is a LONG time. You and everyone else who got a shot and then hives should report it to VAERS- the vaccine reporting system. http://vaers.hhs.gov/index. Keep us posted and a less itchy new year 2 u all.
30 Days with Rash
I see my daughter posted under junebug so that is what we will call sweet baby. My daughter called crying this morning because the rash is worse. The rash always seems to be worse in the morning.
Junebug was kept in light clothes with no blankets. All the meds like I stated work at first then stop helping her.
We were talking and Junebug did have a cough and was told she had a sinus infection. Dec. 4
Called doctor again and she said give steroids and an antihistamine 24 hours.
Our hearts are breaking watching Junebug go through this and she is a happy baby.
This is the sweet babies mom the meds as of this morning are not working. Also her rash started on the left side of her body only where she got the shot! She bleeds from itching!
splotchylady..we have considered all of the other possible causes.. no new foods, detergents, clothes, soaps, lotions, etc, etc.. It has been almost a month for our sweet baby.
Don’t wait too long before going to the doctor and don’t wait to go see another doctor if the first doctor’s practice does not work etc. etc……
ahrcanum..you sound like a doctor. lol You are talking to someone who has been floxed. The internet has been life line. I would never get a H1N1 shot or another flu shot from MY experiences. My daughter and I discussed the H1N1 shot before sweet baby got the H1N1 vaccine.
I know doctors are human and I love my doctor he listened to me and saved my life when I was ready to give up. Everyone keep looking for the doctor that will help you. I learned that the hard way. We took sweet baby to four doctors before I looked on the internet.
Back to our sweet baby, meds seem to be working but all the meds seem to be working at first. I will keep you updated and thanks for the information your blog helped us. When all else fails blog your heart out and hope there is an answer on the internet or a direction to point you in.
I recall reading that the for protection against the H1N1 can take up to 21 days to reach effectiveness after vaccination-we see no reason why it couldn’t take this long to show a symptom like hives from the vaccine or perhaps the virus itself.
Doctors aren’t miracle workers but all this rash related stuff is just bull. As an adult we scratch, itch and suck it up but for a 20 month old child to bleed from a rash is not normal in our opinion- which of course is not medical advice. You and everyone else who got a shot and then hives could report it to VAERS- the vaccine reporting system. http://vaers.hhs.gov/index
Jeeze, that’s so tough when it’s on a little person and then what to do. Thanks for posting the pictures and wishing your little patient a quick recovery!
Woke up on Christmas Eve covered with hives on upper legs, abdomen (mainly back), and upper arms. No fever. Only mild itching. Have taken benedryl a few times. Now hives are not as puffy, but have spread out to appear as very red skin on areas… the areas feel slightly warm to the touch, but no fever. I took the H1N1 vaccine on Dec 7. Is there any possibility that this is caused by the vaccine this long afterwards? I do not have a fever or feel sick. Areas are starting to be a bit more itchy. I have not seen a Doctor yet. Also, have considered all of the other possible causes.. no new foods, detergents, clothes, soaps, lotions, etc, etc.. Any others experience Hives WITHOUT the flu… but after the vaccine???
Direct Link pictures of rash
Granddaughter 20 months first dose of H1N1 no reaction 2nd dose a small rash. Her rash has grown and spread. Finally the 4th doctor said it must be a reaction to the HNI vaccine since the rash appeared one day after the second does 11/28/09. The Pediatrician stated she has never seen anything like it and of course the other doctor said no way it was connected to H1N1. She has been prescribed all types of crap nothing is working. We are now trying steroids and an antihistamine. The rash looks horrible today’s date 12/26/09. No fever and she is acting fine except for the itching. Rash looks like picture at the beginning and now has grown redder and bumped up. The rash in now bleeding from her scratching the rash. Doctors have called it hives. scabies and I don’t know. Just and FYI for those of you are looking for some answer. I will post the next few days and let you know what happens.
Good Luck
Merry Christmas!
Okay These posts are a great source of information.
Thanky you too all who have added there stories.
Age: 32 Male
Just got over a really bad flu. Was it H1N1 i don’t know. I didnt go to the doctors. Took some over the counter cold/flu medicine and toughed it out. Fever yes. heavy mucus yes. coughing out mucus yes. Feel better now, but all of a sudden 3 days later i got crazy hives. Really itchy.
After reading some of the posts im somewhat concerened that the rash wont easily go away. Should i go see a doctor? I hope not. Especially if theres noting that they can pinpoint as the problem. If this rash dosent go away i may go to the doctors. I hope the medical community fiqures this stuff out. I hope every1 who gets theis rash gets relief.
So much for the allergy theory….
There is a recall on FluMist. Maybe ck with doctor on which lot she got against the list being recalled. the link for the list is at todays post at https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2009/12/23/flumist-recall-third-swine-vaccine-recall/
Attention people who took FluMist. FluMist nasal spray vaccine containing the live virus is being recalled. Reading an updated patient insert on adverse effects, sure enough Rash is one of the symptoms! Read this post for more. https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2009/12/23/flumist-recall-third-swine-vaccine-recall/
Ok this makes me think I’m not going crazy. I had the H1N1 vaccine last week and by the 6th day (yesterday) I was really itchy. I thought I had dry skin so put some lotion on. It kept itching all day and this morning when I woke up I noticed I have a small rash like the one pictured above on my legs. My eye lids were also itching last night and when I woke up this morning they were swelled up to where you couldn’t tell I had eye lids! I started panicking and called the Dr. So far I haven’t heard back from the nurse, but have taken some Benadryl. So maybe the rash is from a small portion of the vaccine and my body is fighting it off. I hope it goes away soon.
My daughter is 5 yrs old.
She received the H1N1 Flumist on December 19th and now today (12-22-09) at 6:00 pm has a rash forming on her face and chest which is splotchy and red. This is her 2nd dose of the vaccine. No fever. Does have runny nose. She does complain of her stomach hurting but no vomiting/diarrhea. I am concerned about the rash but she has no complaints of itching so no treatment so far. Rash is red and splotchy. She has no known allergies.
Will wait and see…..
As Duane, I’ve never had any allergies either.
Desperea, Ahrcanum: I have never had any allergies before, so my case may be taken as evidence against the hypothesis.
BINGO Desperea Maculata! Our daughter who had the hives w the flu has numerous allergies also. dogs ‘n dust, but mainly seasonal although she can eat shellfish (especially the expensive lobsters!)
Her treatment 10 mg Zyrtec + 150 mg Zantac once a day.
Same as yours! Score one for the doctors.
I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who found relief with Xyzal. I did some extra research and found that Levocetirizine, the active ingredient in Xyzal is simply a newer generation version of Cetirizine, which is available over the counter in most countries under the name of Zyrtec. My 5 mg Xyzal corresponds to 10 mg of Zyrtec.
Basically, the OTC equivalent of the therapy that’s helping me would be:
10 mg Zyrtec + 150 mg Zantac once a day.
If you look up “Zyrtec Zantac Hives” you’ll find plenty of info on the use of this combination to treat chronic hives.
As to commonalities, it would be interesting to see if other adults having this reaction suffer from allergies. I get seasonal hay fever pretty bad, and am extremely allergic to shellfish. When the hives first broke out this time, and I couldn’t breathe, it was very similar to how I react to shellfish. The only difference is that this time the hives decided to stick around for a while.
The rheumatologist I was seen by at the hospital did say that sometimes – although it’s extremely rare – people can actually be allergic to a specific virus. Basically, my body may be overreacting to the antigens of this flu just like it does to certain pollens or shellfish. I’m not a doctor, but that does seem like a logical explanation.
Which begs the question, if my pollen allergy goes away at the end of Spring, will this go away at the end of flu season? I sure hope so…
It would be interesting to know what all sufferers of this rash have in common but most likely, just an exposure to the H1N1 virus and each individuals reaction to it to ward it off.
If any one’s up to analyzing the replies for commonalities be my guest. OR if someone has some other bright idea as to the cause of this rash post your thoughts!
WOW. You win on the hives story scale! The flu seems easy for most, but it is the lingering side effects that kick butt. Good call on the Zantac- it also contains an antihistamine blocker! At least with all those tests, when this is completely cleared up you can rest assured you are in excellent health!
This website has also helped me calm down, so I guess I owe it to others to tell my story:
Age of person with rash? 30 Male
Fever present? Yes – but only one day, roughly third day after the feeling of flu started. Chills lasted for two days.
Temperature? around 39 celsius
Consistent flu symptoms? Yes, body aches, chills, temperature one day, cough.
How soon after flu symptoms did rash occur? On the 4th day after the end of temperature, just when I felt that I was ‘out of the woods’.
Was there an H1N1 or FluMist ® vaccine? no
Seasonal Vaccine – No
Did patients fever break and symptoms lesson/get worse after the appearance of any rash or hives? No, I actually felt good, full of energy and recovered. But then the hives kicked in, first around the groin area, then armipts and then pretty soon everything below the neck. It felt like sun allergy (red dye that would disappear when you press with your fingers) and itched quite a bit.
What medicines were administered prior to the rash? Aspirin for two days (but around 4-5 days before the appearance of hives)
What medicines were administered after the rash? Xyzall
How long did the rash last? Well, thats a tricky question. Hives strated to withdraw after the taking of Xyzall. I was told by the doc to take the pills until all symptoms were gone. After 7 days I stopped, although I wasn’t quite sure if I was still having very light hives or I was imagining at that point in time that my skin was still partially redder than normal (getting hives for a first time in your life can make you a bit crazy :). I am pretty sure however that my skin was still slightly redder at some parts after hot shower and it itched slightly from time to time at some places. Now, it’s been a month since the onset of the flu and I think I might proclaim full victory (knock knock).
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu? The ‘flu’ part was easy, just resting and water. The hives part – xyzall.
Anything else you can think of? I saw the docs, they were all completely lost as to the hives. The first one asked me about allergies and whether I was around any children. The second one simply shrugged shoulders and said they can be caused by any virus, but seemed genuinely surprised at their duration.
The hives seem to be an unusual and rare symptom of thsi flu. I am gratfeul to see that there are others like me. It’s very useful that Desperea did all these tests 🙂 It would be good to see if there is any underlying reason why we had hives as a reaction and (what it seems) the majority of flu patients didn’t.
First of all, THANK YOU SO MUCH Ahrcanum for this blog post, which has helped maintain my sanity during this ongoing ordeal… I’ve been checking on the comments for almost 3 weeks now, and waiting to post once my symptoms resolved – which has yet to happen – but I did finally find something that helps keep my hives in check, and decided to post now in case it can help others.
Age of person with rash? 33 (F)
Fever present? Only on the first evening of flu.
Temperature? Just 99.3 on first eve, followed by very low temps (95.2-96.7 range) ,
Consistent flu symptoms? Flu started 20 days ago with usual symptoms: very sore throat, head cold symptoms with much sneezing and clogged up sinuses, aches and pains etc. The only unusual thing were absurdly copious amounts of phlegm – yuck! By day 3 the sneezing subsided, and annoying but unalarming coughing began. I felt better enough to go to work.
How soon after flu symptoms did rash occur? Day 3, exactly 5 hours after most symptoms had gone away, and I’d decided I was over the flu (how naive of me). I ended up in the emergency room with what was first diagnosed as anaphylaxis (I was covered in hives from head to waist, eyes swollen shut, huge swollen lips and face and a heck of a time breathing – btw this first attack was the only one involving breathing issues).
Was there a seasonal flu vaccine? No
Was there an H1N1 or FluMist ® vaccine? No
Did patients fever break and symptoms lesson/get worse after the appearance of any rash or hives? Flu symptoms were mostly gone (except for cough that persisted for a week or so) just before the hives hit. Temps stayed below normal for another couple of weeks.
What medicines were administered prior to the rash? None on the day of hives breakout. Before that, Aspirin (for aches and pains) Pseudoephedrine (for clogged up nose). Also took multivitamins.
What medicines were administered after the rash? Lots. Premise: I live in Italy, where they take any ailment very seriously, so don’t be shocked by the long list of meds that may not even be used in the US… 1st 3 attempts: 4-6 mg Betamethasone (corticosteroids) by IV. The hives disappeared for a few hours, then came back with a vengeance, and faster, each time, spreading to the rest of my body. On the 4th outbreak, after I begged for no more steroids (the Betamethasone made me feel terribly weak, cold, weepy and hungry), they injected Promethazine antihistamine, which did absolutely nothing for the hives but had the welcome side effect of knocking me out. On day 4 of the hives getting worse, I was hospitalized, where they gave me Oxatomide antihistamine (which I swear made me break out worse than before) and Deflazacourt steroids which had less side effects than the Betamethasone, but still did not help. My hospital stay ended up lasting 6 days, during which they tested me for every ailment known to man and found absolutely nothing wrong.
How long did the rash last? Day 17 and still present.
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu? The flu was easy, as for the hives… I was finally given an antihistamine that helps A LOT. It’s called Xyzal here, and the active ingredient is Levocetirizine. The dose is one 5 mg tablet a day, which I’m supposed to take before bed as it does cause drowsiness, but I prefer to take it in the morning since it keeps the hives away COMPLETELY for about 8-12 hours, allowing me to get through the work day without embarassing spots popping up (I did inquire about taking it twice a day but was strongly advised not to, since 5mg is the max approved dose). So far, some extra coffee keeps the drownsiness at bay, and the hives only come back in the evening. The best part is that even when they do come back, the itch factor on a scale of 1-10 is a 2-3, which I can fall asleep to just fine. Yesterday morning I skipped the Xyzal to see if I’d gotten better on my own, and by noon I was covered in extremely itchy hives from head to toe, so I took the missed pill and the hives were 100% gone within 30 minutes. I’m also taking a Ranitidine (Zantac) 150mg tablet once every morning (They had me take it to avoid getting an ulcer from the steroids, and the doctor that gave me the Xyzal told me to keep taking it since it actually helps the antihistamine do its job better). This is no longer an issue since the above treatment, but before I was given Xyzal, I found that heat (including a hot shower) made the hives worse, while going outside in the cool air helped a lot. Another thing that seemed to help was moving as much as possible to get my circulation going. I tried every itch cream on the market here, including antihistamine (Benadryl) cream and Hydrocortisone cream and they did not help, but I did find menthol talcum powder to provide some relief.
Anything else you can think of?
Since none of the other posters seem to have been thoroughly tested as I was, in case anyone is wondering, I’ll summarize the 27 pages of tests I was given by the hospital. I’ll just list the major tests, with the premise that all results were perfectly normal, unless otherwise noted.
– Full blood work (including all blood factors, cholesterol, liver tests, renal function… you name it, they tested it – 14 vials worth of it!) – all OK.
– Immunoglobins IgA, IgG, and IgM were fine. IgE only slightly elevated. Both allergist and rheumatologist noted that IgE levels are too low to blame the hives on a food, ambient or contact allergic reaction (not that bloodwork was not really necessary to determine that, since I was practically isolated and IV-fed for the first 48 hours in the hospital, with no improvement).
– HIV, Hepatitis B and C – negative
– Tumor markers – negative
– Intestinal parasites – negative
– Urine tests – normal
– Chest Xray – normal
– Full abdominal ultrasound – normal
I left the hospital before a few other results came in, which I’ll pick up tomorrow, but since they call you with bad news as soon as they get it, it’s pretty safe to assume they’re fine too (these include ANA tests for autoimmune conditions like Lupus etc.).
I did have along chat with the rheumatologist at the hospital, who said at this point we’re likely looking at a reaction to some antigen in my system. When I inquired about the flu, he said it’s not impossible, but would be virtually impossible (as well as apparently pointless from a treatment POV) to pinpoint as the source, but to come back for more tests if the issue does not resolve in a few weeks.
Glad we were “useful.” QPC has described what occured in our family and so many others- thus the reason for this post. Be well friends.
Finally an useful website:
Age of person with rash? 10 Male
Fever present? Yes – Started at 102 first two days, then 104/105 at highest lasting for two to three days and then 102-103 for another few days and then lingered at 100.5 and finally 99.5. Lasted over 10 days with dr constantly telling me that he did not have the swine flu but yet he wouldn’t test him. He finally did a strep test at my insistence after running 105 temp for two days and that was negative. Fever finally dropped to 102 and then down to 100 and dr said that he didn’t even consider that a fever. After 10 days sent him back to school on to have him show up with the hives on day 13. Took him back to the dr and now they said he has Pneumonia and he is on an inhaler and antibiotics and now they finally admit, oh, he looks to have had the swine flu and the rash is a reaction to the viral infection.
Temperature? 105.9 at highest point
Consistent flu symptoms? Early symptoms: started with sore throat then high fever and then a cough at day 10 and Pneumonia on day 13.
How soon after flu symptoms did rash occur? Day 13- we thought we were out of the woods but he was still not himself.
Was there an H1N1 or FluMist ® vaccine? no
Seasonal Vaccine – Yes
Did patients fever break and symptoms lesson/get worse after the appearance of any rash or hives? Fever down to 99.5 but never normal and then rash appears

What medicines were administered after the rash? Benadryl, Antibiotic and inhaler
How long did the rash last? Just started today
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu? Motrin and lots of water
Anything else you can think of? Please, please, please insist on your dr doing more than I did. Thank God for the rash or else I would have believed my dr and thought he was fine and not had him seen and then he would have Pneumonia and probably have ended up in the hospital. This is a real virus for those of you who think the government is making it up
I’ve had this flu for a day short of 2 weeks now. I’m glad to have found people to commiserate with, although I wish you all weren’t suffering like me 🙂 Here is my “story”:
Age of person with rash? 30 (M)
Fever present? Yes, on days 2 and 3. Fever subsided quickly and has not returned (as of day 13).
Temperature? unmeasured
Consistent flu symptoms? Early symptoms: Nauseous, achy on first couple of days. Cold sweats at night for one or two nights. Cough started to develop on day 4 or 5. Cough has been persistent through present (day 13).
How soon after flu symptoms did rash occur? Minor itchiness occurred on day 7, developed into hives on day 8.
Was there a seasonal flu vaccine? No
Was there an H1N1 or FluMist ® vaccine? No
Did patients fever break and symptoms lesson/get worse after the appearance of any rash or hives? All symptoms except this awful bronchial cough and the hives are gone.
What medicines were administered prior to the rash? Ibuprofen.
What medicines were administered after the rash? Benadryl
How long did the rash last? Ongoing (5-6 days so far).
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu? Rest.
Anything else you can think of?
Cold external temperature seems to aggravate the hives in my case (opposite to Denise Funk) so I have to stay indoors and keep warm. If I let my arms rest on anything cold, such as a glass table, I develop hives in that area. Returning them to the warmth of blankets makes the hives go away after about a half hour. I walked to work (in Chicago) last week when I thought all the symptoms had gone away and discovered hives all over my lower body where my clothing was thinner (i.e. since I had a coat on, my upper body was warmer than my lower body). Legs developed the awful itchy hives that have kept me in bed for a week now.
I am so grateful for this site. I am 41 years old. I received the seasonal flu vaccine but not the H1N1. I had very mild flu symptoms, a headache and slight congestion. About four days later hives and rash appeared. It has lasted for about seven days. I would not have thought I had the Swine Flu if not for the rash. I have not taken any meds, just waiting for the rash to subside.
Vicks? just curious why Vicks for hives or perhaps you used it for congestion. In any case, KEEP VICKS AWAY FROM PRIVATE PARTS!!!!
Vicks contains:
Camphor (5.2%); Eucalyptus Oil (1.2%); and Menthol (2.8%). Other ingredients found in this product include: carbomer 954, cedarleaf oil, cetyl alcohol, cetyl palmitate, cyclomethicone copolyol, dimethicone copolyol, dimethicone, EDTA, glycerin, imidazolidinyl urea, isopropyl palmitate, methylparaben, nutmeg oil, peg-100 stearate, propylparaben, purified water, sodium hydroxide, stearic acid, stearyl alcohol, thymol, titanium dioxide, and turpentine oil.
I guess you, and everyone else could be allergic to some of the ingredients. Our non-medical suggestion would be to avoid it until the rash clears.
Good health and thanks for commenting.
i have hives like the picture above. it appeared on day 11 of the swine flu and is still here on and off 2 days later. i have a low grade fever 99-100. this also appeared within 24 hours of using vick vapo rub. i used vicks a second time and had many, many more blotches appear. could be swine flu hives, could be vapo rub in my case.
I also had a rash. I had a confirmed case of H1n1 and took Tamiflu. As I was finishing the Tamiflu I developed a rash. I went to my doctor, but he didn’t know what it was. It is all over my body. It is raised, and blistery looking but doesn’t itch very much. It is going away now, but I’ve had it for about 6 weeks now. My doctor wanted to give me benedryl and steriods, but I told him I didn’t want to take any of that and would wait it out.
What medicines were administered after the rash? (too soon to answer these)
How long did the rash last?
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu? NOTHING.
I am a 47 year old adult female. I got a horrible rash with this flu, even AFTER I had been vaccinated for both the seasonal flu and the H1N1 flu (about 12 days prior to onset of flu symptoms).
Large red extremely itchy rash with blisters, from my scalp right down to between my toes. Flu assessment clinic put me on Tamiflu, prednizone, and I took antihistimines to survive the itchyness.
Most of the rash died down in a couple of days, but I remained itchy in a number of spots for over a week.
I never want to experience THIS again.

FYI: Advil, Ibuprofen, Benadryl had no effect on the rash.
NOTE: Two other local children had this rash occur and anti inflammatories (sp) were used.
Their rash reduced after a few days.
CAUSE and EFFECT:
Daughter 16, active, athlete, gymnastics coach-(high exposure to ill children) had the flu for a week or so.
Hives or rash on lower legs and elbow area, with swelling after flu ended with 100’f fever at night only.
Couldn’t walk due to swelling on lower legs. Flu symptoms were mild.
Blood test showed infection.
1st: Rest, elevate legs, ice packs
2. Recommended treatment 10 days anti-biotic (sp) moxiciline twice a day with cilius acid additive (to increase strength), slowed the rash, felt a little better.
3. Then swelling went to feet because fluids couldn’t drain, red marks on legs slowly going away. Activity made it worse. Body weakened from flu.
4. Next: Different 10 day anti-biotic family, sulfamethoxazole-tmp twice a day (backus drug family ?)
Getting better after 10 days resuming activities.
5. Taking pro-biotic to put good bacteria back the system. Taking womens multi-vitamin.
NE US doctors hadn’t seen this, I work in a NE hospital, they hadn’t seen it. 4 visits to doctors.
LOOKS LIKE: Appears to be spider or bug bites after the flu ended but,
No other family members had symptoms house cleaned and checked for pests, and no unusual travel or exposures.
Result: Rest, Elevate, Ice, 2 types of drugs.
Resuming activity, strength coming back.

Called doc and was told to buy benadyral, tried that for 2 weeks, with no relief. Finally could not stand the itching any longer went to see doc and was prescibed prednesone (3 tabs once a day for 7 days worked good, than 1 tab for the next 7 days and they came back, but not as bad. Now I’m finished with the course of prednisone and everyday they get worse. Made another appointment for next week.
How long did the rash last?
5 weeks, so far, and going crazy!
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu?Rest, fluids etc. The flu was nothing compared to these hives!!!
Anything else you can think of?
My doc says he is seeing a lot of hives following the swine flu and he confirmed that what I had was the swine flu and not the seasonal flu. I have no allergies, stopped meds I regularly take, just in case I had developed an allergy, use the same laundry, body and dishsoap, lotions etc. so I know this is from the flu! My husband had it first and never got the hives, but he did get the seasonal flu shot. I mainly get them on the more tender parts of the body (back of legs, behind the knees, ankles, inner thighs, inner wrists and arms, buttocks, lower back etc; heat really makes it worse. I live in a cold climate so I spend lots of time outside freezing just to get a little relief…Brrrrrrrr, no fun!!!
my 8 month old son and I both got hives after a flu. The baby had a very high fever for about 1.5 days I just nursed him a lot and gave some infant tylenol drops. He was then just tired and cranky for 3 more days… but about the 5th day after initial onset of symptoms he developed hives all over his body.
They came back again last night but fewer than before.
I got sick a day or two after the baby — my symptoms were body aches, sick stomach and fatigue… just last night, a couple days after my baby had developed hives — my whole body exploded in horrible itchy rashy hives. All I had taken was some regular motrin for pain.
This is my second day with the hives and I am taking benedryl and using cortisone cream.
Neither one of us got the flu vaccine.
I am 28 years old and the last time I had hives was 8 years ago. This definitely cannot be a coincidence. There is a flu bug specifically causing hives going around.
Age of person with rash? 61
Fever present? at first high temps 99.9-100.1 and then low (97-97.7). Weird. Consistent flu symptoms? Painful chest and upper back-associate with dry hacking cough? Aching joints, arms and legs. Terrible headaches-tears running from eyes.
How soon after flu symptoms did rash occur? 10 days
still fatigued and chest /back (rash middle of back along spine) hurts. Started with itching, then burning and now tinkling and aches.
Was there a seasonal flu vaccine? no

How soon after flu symptoms did rash occur? It seemed to occur at the end of the flu
Was there a seasonal flu vaccine?
No, not for years, wen I discovered it seemed to make me sick every year
Was thre an H1N1 or FluMist ® vaccine? No, but I travel a lot and despite personal hygiene I couldn’t avoid it as people come to work sick often (had people actually describe swine flu to a tee, and then cough in your general direction or not cover their cough…what are you going to do?)
Did patients fever break and symptoms lesson/get worse after the appearance of any rash or hives? Yes
What medicines were administered prior to the rash? None
What medicines were administered after the rash? None
How long did the rash last?
2 weeks and counting although it has almost vanished (shows up fairly visibly after a long hot shower)
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu?
Rest, lots of rest, hydration, continuing a diet high in unprocessed natural foods rich in beans, nuts, fruits and vegetables with very very little dairy while I was ill (the one time I had dairy my mouth and throat were full of phlegm all night long, like mouthfuls [disgusting!!] and I had terrible acid reflux that night, so I shied away from dairy the whole time I was ill, but have continued it now with no further side effects)…I am a heath conscious vegetarian, I don’t know if it has any bearing but I never experienced the terrible stomach illness that some of the people who coughed right on me described (they would moan about how really really terribly sick to there stomach they had been for 3+ days)
Anything else you can think of?
My rash was very similar to the photo, but spaced very evenly staring on the left leg and working to the right leg (but only the legs, it never migrated anywhere else on my body). It never itched or bothered me, except as a visual reminder that something was definitely ‘going on in my skin’.
When it started, I thought I had been bitten by some kind of methodical bug…except there was no swelling to very minimal swelling at the site (just small red disks the diameter of a garbanzo bean, but red and flat), no itching and the rash flattened out and spread out looking very much like a galaxy as it dissipated, growing larger and less centralized, interconnecting as they grew, but keeping the same basic character, like a rash explosion. Heat tended to make them look a lot worse, so everything from my laptop to a shower caused them to ‘look’ more pronounced but never increased any other symptoms…
I haven’t taken any over the counter medicines or remedies for this, have not seen my Dr…cause, unless your dying, you are risking illness by a visit, and it is only visually distracting, and stopped spreading as soon as it reached my torso…
Weird but I noticed that a lot of your posters describing the rash are almost exactly my same age…early 40’s…while many other web sites claim that the rash only appears in children…??
While we do not dispense medical advise, our physician is not seeing any cases of seasonal flu. That is not to say that rash can not be tied to fever in general. Good health to all.

I had to listen to her chest to make sure she was breathing she was so cold and clammy!
What medicines were administered prior to the rash? Ibuprofen only.
What medicines were administered after the rash? Ibuprofen at night when low grade fever reappears so she can rest.
How long did the rash last? We’re now on day 4
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu? Time and Ibuprofen when fevers got high or she needed rest.
Anything else you can think of? I also caught her flu. We were exposed by the same person at the same time – didn’t know she had the flu until she’d been to our home 4 days in a row with fever.
My symptoms were totally different than my daughter’s. She had aches/pains/headache/fever day one that left her screaming in agony until I got her to the doctor. Day two she became extremely congested and could barely breathe through her nose. Day 3, she had a high fever but with Ibuprofen you would never know she was sick other than the sniffles and grumpiness. She did not complain of anything but her nose and throat. Fever was gone Days 5-7. Day 7 rash appeared. Day 8 she started getting low grade fever again – 99.0 to 99.5. The rash does not occur along with the fever. Rash is in the a.m., low grade fever, runny nose & watery eyes only come in the evening. Took her to her doc for the rash, ice cold sweats, recurring fever, etc., one week to the day from original diagnosis. Was told she’s more open to other viruses for a while and is probably getting another virus since xrays showed no problems with the lungs.
My (39 y/o diabetic female) symptoms with the flu were low-grade to high fever (99.* to 100.9) for 4 days with extreme fatigue, joint pain to the point of tears, muscle aches and the worst burning pain I’ve ever felt in my nose/throat. No congestion whatsoever the first 4 days. Day 5, began experiencing sharp pains in my lungs with a lot of soreness in my upper back – it felt like I’d been beaten! I was also developing congestion that I could feel in my lungs, dry cough and low grade fever returned. Day 6 – Went to the doctor and was diagnosed with bronchitis and given an anti-biotic. After anti-biotic, began having more productive coughs. Now I’m on Day 10 and still experiencing congestion. Yesterday I felt fine but today breathing is more labored (not as bad as before but worse than yesterday) and now more nasal congestion and unproductive cough has returned.
What was most striking with both my daughter and I was that the fevers bounced from one extreme to another in very short periods. My daughter’s fever would spike to 102.5 and 40 minutes later, it would be down to as low as 96.8…yes 96.8 not 98.6. 20 minutes after that it would spike back up again. Then there were periods a high temp would linger.
The best way I know how to describe it is that, for us, it has been the roller coaster ride from hell.
Hi,

Dr said could be both H1N1 and strep together.. she is on antibiotics….and seems to be doing ok it’s day 6 she has had 3 doses of antibiotisc now … she didn’t get the vaccine.

No.

Yes, H1N1 Nasal.
Did patients fever break and symptoms lesson/get worse after the appearance of any rash or hives?
The rash just appeared. Even though it’s the only symptom right now, I’m concerned.

What medicines were administered after the rash?
Nothing yet.
How long did the rash last?
This is the first day of the rash, but also the first day after receiving the H1N1 Nasal.
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu?
So far, the rash is the only symptom.
Anything else you can think of?
It’s concerning that 2 of my 3 kids developed this rash within 24 hrs. of receiving the H1N1 nasal. Even more interesting that only 1 of the twins have it, and then my 16 yr old. The 2 children that do have it have had health problems in the past, but the doctors said they should be fine to get it. The one child that doesn’t have it has never been sick with anything in the whole 9 years of her life. (never has had the flu, strep,ear infection, nothing) This is making me regret allowing them to get the vaccine, even though it was the Nasal…I hope symptoms don’t progress.

Anything else you can think of?
The rash showed up a few days before I got sick, and then kept disappearing and reappearing for the next few days. Still keeps coming back. I can’t tell if it gets smaller each time or not.

Anything else you can think of? Medics were baffled as to cause of rash ranging from change in laundry powder, to food allergy, blood clotting issues to Kawasaki disease and foot and mouth…. Son was relatively sprightly thoughout which also confused drs. Not once during 3 nights in A&E was Swine Flu mentioned.
Rash started out small blisters like chicken pox, then grew across his chest, migrated around his arm pits and groin, very bad on face and back which ‘bruised’ after 2.5 days.
He is totally well now 8 days after the initial spots.

Anything else you can think of?
My husband is 61 and has sympyons of h1n1.
He has has a fever for 4 days (off and on) up to 101.5.
He has a dry cough.
He has a severe head ache.
He has loss of appetite.
And today we have noticed a rash.
His fever has broken and his energy level has improved.
He has only taken tylenol and plenty of fluids. He did not take the flu vacinne as it has not been available to his group (general public) as of yet. I took the vacinne the day after his symptons presented so I may get the flu too before the vacinne takes affect.
My daughter 14 got flu 9 days ago. No testing but doctor 100% sure H1N1. Healthy except for occasional mild exercise-induced asthma which ended up being major complications with H1N1.
Fever – kept it under 102 with Ibupropene and Tylenol
Medication – initially Mucinex, Delsym, then also inhaler, then symptoms got so bad we had to add steroids (prednisone), 6 first day and then decrease to one; she still got worse so doctor added prednisolone from day 4 and cough medicine with Codeine;
Temperature ended: Day 3
Got rash: Day 6 gave benedryl – rash comes and goes and Day 8 was final day of all medications and still got rash again tonight. This rash is more scarlet, less bumps and very itchy
This is Day 9 and it is a Saturday and I cannot imagine her having the strength to go to school Monday. This is the sickest she’s ever been. Folks should take this seriously — I’ve missed 6 days of work taking care of her.
Glad to hear rash is all part of this – and if anything else develops I’ll share with the group
I found this when searching for rash and flu.

What medicines were administered after the rash? none
How long did the rash last? I still have it, 2 weeks after onset of the flu.
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu? rest, fluids
Anything else you can think of? My rash is occasionally itchy, covers my chest, arms and back of neck (sun exposed areas) It is raised welts similar in appearance to the picture above. It has not gotten better, actually a little worse. I haven’t taken any medication except for nyquil a couple of nights when my flu symptoms were bothering me.
Everyone in my family had the same flu and symptoms, but I am the only one with the rash.
Got a call from daycare that she had hives on her face. They gave her benedryl.
Googled symptoms: low grade fever, cough, hives and found this site earlier. Picked my daughter up from daycare and wanted to cry. All around her right eye and bridge of her nose was swollen and blotchy. Hives all over back and stomach like in the picture above. Doctor unavailable so we took her to E.R. When I told them my search results indicated possible swine flu I was basically laughed at. And if I hadn’t seen this site with my own eyes and saw my daughter’s rash was the same I might have trouble linking it together too. Not tested for swine flu even though I asked for her to be.
Age of person with rash? 3 years, 11 months
Fever present? Temperature? Not today. She had a low grade fever 99.9 on Tuesday noght and all day Wednesday. Thursday, no fever, had mysterious swelling/hive over her right eye, which I wasn’t sure where it came from so I gave her benedryl, kept her home and it went away. Fever came back slightly at night. Fine all day today until around 4 when hives broke out.
Consistent flu symptoms? No. She has had a cough for a couple weeks, but nothing I was concerned about. Her doctor always tells me coughs can hang around for a while. Then Tuesday night she started looking ill. She had a low-grade fever. Yesterday she had soft stools once.
How soon after fly symptoms did rash occur? Not sure if she ever had flu or not. Just slightly ill.
Was there a seasonal flu vaccine? no

How long did the rash last? Her eye area is still slightly swollen 8 hours later. The hives on her body were disipating by 4 hours and two doses of benedryl (1/2 tsp each) Hive yesterday lasted a couple hours.
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu? N/A
Anything else you can think of? I really wish that these doctors would take us more seriously instead of brushing us off when we research symptoms online. They are acting like it’s not a big deal. Told to keep her on the benedryl and use tylenol if we need to, not ibuprophen. And told to follow up with pediatrician. Asked repeatedly if there were any changes in environment (laundry soap, bath soap, cleaning agents, food). There has been no change. And she was at home when the first hive showed up and at school when her whole body broke out. Totally different surroundings. Thank you for this information on here. If it weren’t for this stuff being online we would all still feel like we are crazy. I think I may print this out to show her doctor on Monday.

Had some dental work done Monday..Wednesday had lesions forming around the tooth still fighting these…possibly strep or from over washing with listerine> Both ears aching like an infection better after two days of garlic oil. Jaw and neck tight, headache on Wednesday night…could be TMJ symptoms. Wednesday rash looks like sun burn on face and neck just like scarlet fever that I had two winters ago…exactly the same…a sun burn like rash that starts to dry out face…perhaps this is a strp virus? Glans are slightly swollen…are pits itchy on this dat (Saturday) Most discomfort in gum lesions and no fever that I have felt. Sunday and Monday completely exhausted. Wondering if this will progress…if it is scarlet fever again, without the fever…or some by produce of the h1n1 and I’m not getting full symptoms?

My 6 year old son has just had the flu. I am assuming H1N1, though we did not go see a doc.
Symptoms began with a runny nose last Monday. From day 1-3, he was knocked out with a fever, headache, and just exhaustion. By day 3, he was not hungry, or thirsty for water, but I finally offered him a sports drink (Power ade), and he drank and drank, and immediately, dramatically perked up. Day 4, the fever was finally gone, but a bad cough had developed, esp. in the night.
Day 5, he seemed to be really improving. Even the cough was better.
Then, to my surprise, he developed hives. I gave him a bath in baking soda and ground quaker oats. We will see how things are in the morning. Unfortunately, three more in my household have just begun symptoms.
He had no flu vaccine. Medication: one dose mucinex, and some tylenol, both of which helped.
Other than that, I recommend drinking lots of WATER, or if they are not interested in that, pedialite or gatorade,
baking soda and oatmeal in the bath,
and a cold pack on the itchy spots.

It is day 4… rash is still going strong. It is a splotch in the ditch of my arm about the size of a tennis ball. Strongly resembles a poisoned oak rash. It does not itch but is warm to the touch and very sensitive. Was slightly more painful to the touch when it first appeared. Red-ish color of the rash has intensified over the last 24 hours. I am not sure why as the rest of my symptoms seem to be getting better.
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu?
Alternate between tylenol (acetominophin) and ibuprofin. You can take them within one hour of eachother but do not exceed the recommended daily doses for each. This will control the fever to a degree (and other symptoms like chills which only occur b/c of a the fever). Drink as much water as you can stand… do this because your fever may “break” several times and when it breaks (begins to come down) you will sweat… which is a good thing! The more sweat the better… it’s your body ridding the toxins! So keep hydrated for that! Help your immune system out by “pushing” it with some intense supplements of vitamins. I recommend a drink mix called Emergen-C. If you look at the daily % on the back label for the vitamins each packet contains you will understand why. It’s like shooting a fly with a cannon.
Anything else you can think of?
I had no nausea. And, I always felt a little better after I ate something. Before I was officially sick, I experienced about 12 hours of a “tickling” sensation in my lungs which caused me to cough dryly for hours. The next day, the pain in my lungs was so intense that I did everything in my power to keep from coughing… which I recommend because it wasn’t until a whole day later that anything developed that I could actually cough up. Supress the dry cough! If you don’t, it will only cause you to irritate your throat, giving you a sore throat along with everything else.

I have never had a flu shot so after reporting the rash to the health dept, who then in turn reported it to the state health dept; rash is being reported to state health dept.’s after the vaccine. I was told to see a doctor. It might be an allergic reaction to the vaccine it’s self.
My husband was diagnosed with probable H1N1 flu on Tuesday, Nov. 3rd. He had a low grade fever, cough, sore throat, headache and body aches. Today he has a welt-like rash over his torso.
I’d love to know what state/country everyone is from, just to gauge any regional trends. I am from SC, and am posting a follow-up to my previous post (Oct 27- 12:15AM) about my 17-yr-old son’s experience with flu/rash.
We quit with the Tamiflu and the rash was gone the next morning, BUT that’s just circumstantial evidence. In fact, I have a whole other take on this rash. The person who posted about Roseola convinced me even more. [Disclaimer: I am NOT a doctor! I speak on authority of a mother’s intuition. That is my sole credential regarding this topic!]
Initially, we treated his fever every 4 hours, no matter what. But suddenly, the more we attacked it, the higher it got- past 104 one night. Prescription dose of Motrin brought it down to 102. Then it occured to me… that’s HIS body raising his temp to fight this, not the virus raising his temp. So we backed off, pushed fluids, checked his temp while he slept day & night, gave a small dose of Motrin ONLY if temp exceeded 102 (which only happened once.) His temp stabilized to around 100.5 – 101.5, perhaps the optimum temp to cook the virus? So I propose: the rash could be a reaction to virus die-off, or even an epidermal version of the virus as it attempts to migrate away from the killer fever towards the cooler peripheral outer layer of its host.
The Roseola diagnosis made me think of an old family story of our local hospital going to great lengths to lower my (then 9-month-old) sister’s high fever, until my very old grandmother marched in and told my mother, “They’re gonna kill this baby! Get her out of that alcohol ice bath and let that fever do its work!” Fever shot up to 105 for 30 minutes then broke, while the baby broke out all over in little bumps… Roseola, it was. Grandma swore the fever saved the child’s life. Said keeping her temp lower was what kept her little body from killing off the infection.
Now I know that doesn’t help much with the rashes that are still hanging on for some of you. But I do think the fever attacked the flu in my son, and the rash was residual die-off or the virus running away from its losing battle.
Again… I am NOT a medical professional. What worked for us may not work for someone else. I wish you well.
I don’t know why all of you weren’t informed, or how old this site is, but both my sister and I were warned, by physicians of the “swine-flu rash” and if our children were to develope it, return to them?

Anything else you can think of?
My doctor said she has seen the rash in less than 5% of the flu cases, she was the one that said take two zyrtec (allergy) and the zantac (strange, heartburn med). It worked very quickly.
Also, less than 10% get JAUNDICE from the flu — and guess what, she got that too! Was told it would go away in 72 hours. Has anyone else gotten jaundice? I haven’t found anything on any websites.
Sensitive stomach and very tired, but keeping fluids down. It has been five days now.
Doctor also said that they haven’t seen any seasonal flu, so if you have the flu it is probably H1N1. Utah has high amount of illness right now.
I have to agree with previous post, how can you have the vaccine three days ago and the flu symptoms and test negative for the flu? Makes me believe the test has a lot of false results.
FYI – my husband (above post regarded him) was not tested for H1N1, but my 3-1/2 year old son got flu first and was tested and confirmed. My son is about a day ahead of my husband, and doesn’t show any signs of rash.
Of course, being younger, you would think he was about 2 weeks ahead of us, not just a day.

My son (7 months) has had no flu symptoms. He received the seasonal flu vaccine on 10/20. Spiked fever of 101 on 10/23, but was back to normal shortly after. He got the swine flu vaccine on 10/26. Rash started to appear a day or two after the swine flu vaccine – on neck under chin and in armpits. Has had low-grade fever (99.1-100.5) for approx. 6 days and rash has started to spread. Took him to family doc and he was diagnosed with Roseola for the rash that was all over his body, however the rash that is on his neck/under arms is severely worse and they are not sure what it is. They are thinking a yeast rash and have prescribed Nystatin cream with a steroid and said to give him Benadryl for itching and tylenol for fever. He’s scheduled to have a second swine flu vaccine later this month, but I am so worried that the first one is the cause of the rash. I see that many people are having a rash, but has anyone seen it in infants – similar to my story?
I was sick with the flu from October 15th to the 22nd. I had severe muscle aches, headache, loss of appetite, no energy and a fever almost the entire time. On the night of the 21st my fever broke and I woke up in the morning completely drenched and when I took off my t-shirt my entire back looked lie I had the chicken pox or measels. There was no rash just red bumps. They itched like crazy and started to scab over after a couple of days. They appeared more like blisters than anything else I could describe. It took about two weeks for it to clear up entirely. I have never been that sick ever.

Anything else you can think of? I only was able to eat two cans of soup over the ordeal, but I drank gallons of juice (cranberry, apple, fusion, 7up, water…) I lost about 10 pounds. Day five I was ready to die because I was so miserable.
OK, here is my follow up: How it all started and how your site helped.
Tuesday evening my son had a slight cough. No other symptoms. Wed evening he was slightly congested, and his cough sounded much worse. (However, we all have allergies/sinus issues and this is not unusual in our household ~ also, please note that he recently turned 18 (Still a Senior in HS as his B-day is after Sept 1st and HS apparently had quite a few kids diagnosed recently)
Thursday am he drove to school (apparently coughing) took a few classes (he had tests that he said were important and thought he was fine, just allergies!) and was sent to the Nurse by a teacher for his now “horrible” cough. Nurse took temp and called home saying he had temp of 103.2 and that the cough was really bad. I asked the nurse her opinion as there were apparently quite a few diagnosed cases of the “swine” at the school in recent days/weeks ~ I know it’s still just a flu, so I didn’t want to be the “Mom who panics”, but didn’t want to be the opposite either (I worked in a hospital for almost 10 years, (not a nurse) and had chosen not to get the H1N1 Vaccine for the kids as I felt it was too new and some people I knew had rcvd the vaccine and guess what? Flu! Anyway, her recommendation was, based on his fever and cough, to at least have him tested, and either way, he could not return to school until he was “fever free” for at least 24 hours. That being said, of course I tried to get him in. Within the few hours that I tried, without success, to get him in to his DR., his symptoms worsened out of nowhere! He now had slight body aches, severe fatigue, coughing would not stop, congestion, a few bouts of diarrhea and the worst headache. (no sore throat, vomiting etc)
I had no choice but to take him to a “Prompt Care Center” (luckily, a very reputable one that is known to be much better than the average) Had his nasal swab = positive for Influenza (can’t confirm “swine” I thought, but that is what the Doc said was what more than 70 in the last 3 days or so had and that she was quite confident in the diagnosis. He was prescribed as stated above: Tamiflu, Cheratussin AC, otc Ibu, Robitussin DM (I opted for the Cough/Congestion/Expectorant), Sudafed and the obvious, rest and liquids.
He slept and slept and I had to wake him up to check his temp and be sure he was getting enough liquids the first 24 to 36 hrs…..after that, he seemed to be getting better! Then, out of nowhere again, he developed a rash. Of course, my 1st thought was one of the meds (like Tamiflu) may be the cause of the rash. So, I called the Dr. But, Dr didn’t call back for almost 3 hours, which gave me time to “THINK” and to research. I checked the RX inserts again, researched on line, etc., and thought it may be the Tamiflu (or Cheratussin AC ~ I’m allergic to Codeine) Which brought me to my “online search”! Because both were supposedly attributed with “possible” skin rash as side effects”….as was the actual “Swine Flu” according to your posts/webpage….but not documented by the CDC as a symptom.
OK, This is very long, I know, and I’m sorry for that, but this decision was absolute hell for me, so I need to tell……and hope it’s right for others, as it was for me.
It may not be the case for all and it was one of the toughest decisions I have made (and he is 18 and can make his own decisons, so I kinda left it up to him) ~ but, I have 4 children (2 older than him, 1 younger and 2 grand daughters) and we have seen a lot! My opinion to my son and to the Dr when she called (after I read this post!) My concern was that he suddenly developed a rash over his trunk (chest/back all the way to his hips) arms and neck. Obviously, I thought it was an allergic reaction to one of the meds. (mind you, if he had had anything else along with it, I would have opted to exclude the meds alltogether and possibly reintroduce them one at a time.
But, he had no other symptoms……..just a rash that wasn’t even itchy! (raised skin bumps that I can’t even say resembled hives, just a skin rash that you could see and feel very clearly) So, I discussed my opinions with the Doc and told her that I had seen quite a few posts regarding “rash” with this particular diagnosis and although I would never jeopardize my son’s well being (and he is old enought to make his own decisions) he was getting better on the plan of care given and I would hate to stop the meds if they weren’t the cause of the rash and could help aid in his quicker recovery.
Final note: I asked Dr what her what her thoughts were if I were to have him take one more Tamiflu (watching for any reaction or worsening symptom, within a few hours of the return call) and trying the same thing the next day, if needed, with the Rx Cough Med…obviously, I would be up and alert and checking on him constantly!) My thought was that this “while it was possible that it could be a reaction to meds (but he had been on them for 2-3 days, which made no sense to me) was more likely a result of the Virus that had not been reported!” He was doing soooo much better on the prescribed meds….symptoms had been reduced dramatically, fever going down…….duration is supposed to be decreased with Tamiflu….it all seemed to be working…why stop unless you know that’s the culprit? It was a tough decision, but all signs were pointing to the fact that this was the right decision and that this may be something related to the virus itself, that was not reported. Again, he had no other symptoms and the rash wasn’t itching or anything of the kind. I am completely happy with the decision we made as he is pretty much symptom free now! Had I not seen this post I would not have known about this enough to even consider this as a choice! Thank You!!!!!!!!!! I know my post is very long, my apologies for that…but I wanted to share as much info as I had to go on, and to give credit to you all where credit was due! Hopefully, the rest of my household won’t get it, but, if we do, we are now more than prepared!!!

My son, a 19-year old college student had a flu-like virus -not officially diagnosed as H1N1. All student health did was told him to treat his symptoms and quarantined him in his dorm. After the fever resolved, but before his respiratory symptoms were gone, he developed hives and swelling of his hands and feet. I thought it might be strep, but he never complained of a sore throat. The student health service told him it was probably an allergy to the red dye in the cough syrup, but he has taken that ever since he was a small child. He stopped taking the cough syrup, but the hives didn’t go away in 48 hours. As of last week, he still had them, although he is otherwise alright. My husband is an RN and went through the whole list of things that might be causing an allergic response (new foods, new clothes, detergent, linens, etc.) and they couldn’t come up with anything. I am not sure if I should send him to a doctor (outside of student health). I was just wondering if this is a typical complication of H1N1 and how long you should wait for it to go away on its own.

*Don’t disregard low temps – it may mean you have an infection. Look up all of the internet info about the high incidence of H1N1 and low temps. Some cases are following a battle with high temps and in other cases of low temps they are never having experienced the high temps first.
*Note that sepsis, a severe infection, can present with unusually low temps and a rash.
Age of patient: 4
Highest temp.: 104+
Treatment: Motrin/Tylenol
Rash appearance: 2-3 days post-fever
Symptoms: Headache, sore throat, cough
My son is 12 He had symptoms consistent with H1N1 flu ( fever 102.5 at highest, sore throat, cough, congestion, aches and pains, etc…). Hivey rash appeared about 5 days after onset of flu symptoms. Fever had receded to about 99.3. He had the seasonal flu vaccine as he has gotten for several years without incident about three and a half weeks before flu symptoms began. I do not think that there was a correlation. He did not get the H1N1 vaccine or flumist, due to lack of availability at our doctor’s. Child’s rash did not appear until after the fever had gone down significantly and flu symptoms, except for cough and congestion, were lessening. Prior to rash child was given only ibuprofen for symptoms. After rash he was given Benadryl. Child also had an undetermined virus last December which resulted in a rash after symptoms were subsiding. Child is also allergic to sulfas.
Looking at the comments it would appear that there is some correlation between taking the Flu Mist vaccine and the rash, besides just having the Swine Flu. It is interesting that children are testing negative for Swine when they have been given the live virus via Flu Mist. I recall the antigen levels taking up to 21 days for effectiveness so maybe this has something to do with the test results. Any virologists out there?
A quick recovery to all and thank you for your comments.
Looking forward to your sharing more of your own experiences.

noticed that everyone who commented with a rash had the h1n1 flu. My daughter does not have the flu she just got the live H1N1 nasal spray and 1 hr later got the rash which looks like picture and more like hives. Rash is still present even after benadryl its been 4 days since vac. no other symptoms. Drs don’t know what to think and or do. when will this go away?
My children, ages 5, 4, and 2 have all just recovered from a bout of…something. They all had low-grade fevers (101 to 103), headaches, body aches, sore throat. And, they all developed a rash at the end of the illness. For us, the illness was very short-lived. They started feeling “off” one day, started with the fevers and headaches a few hours later, went to sleep, and then by the next day were feeling much better, but that’s when the rash started – after the fever had broken. I myself fell ill also, and had the same symptoms, but with diarrhea, and without the rash, and again, it lasted about 24 hours. I’ve been shoving lots of vitamins and herbs down everyone’s throats so I credit that with the short duration of the virus.
We didn’t go to the doctor, so no medications, and we haven’t had any flu shots. We have all been exposed to h1n1 as several children on my children’s soccer team have been diagnosed with it. The rash seemed to be more pronounced on their faces, where it appeared to look like pimples, but it was present over their entire bodies, and looked more like little raised pin-pricks in areas other than their faces. The rash did last quite a while, my son still has a little residual rash on his face four days after it first appeared. However, he feels fine, acts fine and has no other symptoms at this point.
My 16 yr old son woke up yesterday with a slight rash on his two elbows. Both cleared up, but now a major rash has appeared on both legs. He’s been sick off and on for two weeks, but has felt fine the last four or five days. He did not get a flu shot, and hasn’t been on any medications besides tylenol. No known allergies. The rash is not accompanying any other symptoms. (Michigan)
Age of person with rash? 7 years
Fever present? Slight fever of 99 degrees
Consistent flu symptoms? No flu symptoms at all
Seasonal flu vaccine? No
H1N1 vaccine? No
My daughter woke up today with itchy ankles. I thought it was dry skin. By 1:30 she came to me and her stomach and arms were covered with hives. I gave her Benedryl and brought her to the doctor. The doctor said she seemed fine. She did a swab for streap throat and told me to give her Benedryl as needed. She said give her meds if she gets a fever. I asked if she would be testing her for H1N1 and she said no. She didn’t think it was necessary. My daughter has never reacted to anything before and was not in contact with any new foods or meds.
My daughter went to the doctor and was diagnosed with pink eye and a sinus infection She was given an antiobiotic. A few days later she developed flu like symptoms. We took her back to the doctor and she was tested for H1N1. She was positive for the virus. A day later she broke out into a rash on her legs near her feet. We had her stop taking the antibiotic and the rash seem to disappear. She is 15 years old and had a temperature of 100 degrees. The doctor also put her on Tamiflu which has helped a great deal. She was sick before we were able to get her in for any type of flu shot. Lots of rest and Advil seem to help also.
Sincerely,
Chris Graham

Age of person with rash? 5 yr old female
Fever present? Temperature? hit suddenly with 102.4, got up to 103
Consistent flu symptoms? Daughter coughed a few times last night and this morning, complained for her throat hurting a little but had no fever this morning, so I sent her off to school. They called me at 3 pm stating she had the 102.4 fever and said throat hurt
How soon after flu symptoms did rash occur? We got to the ER at about 3:45 pm, about 25 minutes after she was given ibuprofin. The back of her scalp and neck started itching. Within an hour she had broken out in huge hives all over her body. I told the Doc to get her Benadryl since she didn’t think of it herself while we were waiting for the strep test to come back. Lips were incredibly swollen, as were her cheeks and her eyes were a horrible purple underneath. Her heart rate was extremely high as well (but could have been from fever alone) Doc said this was the second child she’s seen that day to come in with H1N1 symptoms plus serious hives.
Was there a seasonal flu vaccine? no
Was thre an H1N1 or FluMist ® vaccine? yes. Daughter received the vaccine (shot) Friday afternoon. So, approximately 3-3 1/2 days
after vaccine symptoms started
Did patients fever break and symptoms lesson/get worse after the appearance of any rash or hives? Yes. She had the sudden onset of horrible fever, hives appeared, was given tylenol on top of the ibuprofin and then benadryl. About an hour and a half later, the fever broke and hives subsided. That was 4 hours ago.
What medicines were administered prior to the rash?
the ibuprofin and tylenol
What medicines were administered after the rash?
benadryl
How long did the rash last? 2 hours
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu? this has all come on so sudden. All of these events have happened in the past 12 hours. So far the fever reducers and benadryl are working, but it hasn’t been that long
Anything else you can think of?
I don’t understand the timeline, and neither do the docs. They can’t tell if it’s H1N1 (it tested negative, which of course means nothing) or if it’s a side effect of the vaccination. I’ve now heard of a few other children getting hives after receiving the vaccine, but it’s heresay, and can’t be counted on as completely factual. It’s almost as if she has H1N1 AND an allergic reaction to the vaccine. I have never believed in flu vaccines, and went against my gut instinct on this one. I wish I wouldn’t have gotten her the vaccine, because I really think this is causing the hives.
Thank you ahrcanum, I will certainly keep you posted. I am just as curious about the “rheumatic issues” as well. That was the pediatrician’s exact words. Fortunately, my daughter’s next appointment is tomorrow at 7:45am, so I will be sure to ask for clarification and let you know!
Thank you again for the prayers!
I posted a few days ago about my symptoms and this “mysterious” rash I’ve got going on all over my body. This is day 9 for me since symptoms began. My fever finally broke yesterday but the sore throat and rash continue. Doctor tested me for Strep which came back negative, and I continue to take Benadryl (under physicians orders) which knocks me out for hours. Does anyone know when this will subside? Thank you.
Yvonne- keep us posted as we will keep u in our prayers. The homeopathic remedy of an Aveeno brand colloidal oatmeal (an over-the-counter bath powder) in warm water for 10-15 minutes might help. Throw a TINY amount of bubbles in for fun and as distraction- but not too much to dry out her skin. Ice in a towel placed on the hives seems to work as well. Curious to know what “rheumatic issues that could be causing the outbreak,” as we know of none being reported so far.
My 4 year old daughter never received the H1N1 vaccine and was diagnosed with H1N1 about 2 weeks ago (10/15/2009).
She never developed a high fever, maybe 100 degrees if that. The only symptoms she displayed were general achiness, vomitting and and lethargy for her standards.
The ER doctor gave her an IV, did blood work to check her white blood cell count and did a chest x-ray.All came back completely normal. They also gave her medicine to help with her nausea and vomitting through the IV, but I do not remember what the medication was.
After all the tests came back unremarkable they discharged us with instructions to give her pedialite and a prescription for Tamaflu (which we never filled).
On Saturday, 10/24/2009, my daughter woke up completely covered with hives. I brought her to her pediatrician who suspected she was having an allergic reaction to something, though she has not been exposed to anything new recently. After a quick examination he prescribed benadryl, prednisodone (sp) and hydrocortizone.
This morning 10/26/2009, she again woke up covered with hives. This time however her face, eyes and lips were also severely swollen. The benadryl, prednisodone and hydrocortizone did nothing to ease the itching or the swelling.
I brought her back to her pediatrician today. They decided to do more bloodwork, all came back normal. As we were at the doctors, she actually developed a purple bruise along her legs and arms, which I was told was a “normal” reaction from severe hives. With all the bloodwork coming back normal, the dr believes she is having a systematic reaction and upped her prednisodone to two teaspoons a day instead of the one.
Her face is still swollen, but the itchy hives are not present at the moment. I am bringing her back in tomorrow morning and if her symptoms reappear, they will begin testing her for other rheumatic issues that could be causing the outbreak.
She’s on day 3 with the hives. I will comment again when we have a resolution and her symptoms subside.
We feel your pain of a rash for 10 days but “wishing someone in your family has to go to the doctor” is rather rude. The health care system isn’t perfect and neither is medicine or we would have had a cure for all that ails us. Wishing u a quick recovery and hope you aren’t rubbing up against non-reformists in the name of health care reform!

How soon after fly symptoms did rash occur? rash was a precursor. Went to a dermatologist who just shrugged and prescribed an antihistimine.

Anything else you can think of?
I’m glad my son was away with the grandparents so this didn’t kill him while the quacks here scratched their heads.
Every republican out there that wants healthcare reform to fail, I hope somebody in your family has to go to the doctor for something so you can see how badly reform needs to happen. Be part of the fix or get the hell out of the way!

Anything else you can think of? Glad you had the picture posted–my son’s rash looked almost identical–big, circular hives on his chest, arms, legs, neck, and back. Poor kid! At least I figured out the connection so I didn’t take him to the ER & spend hours only to find out it was just an after-effect of the swine flu.
My 8 year old type 1 diabetic son has had vomiting, dry heaving, pressure on his abdomen, temp on and off of no more than 101, hive like rash all down the left side of his body, a cough, and very tired for the last 2 days. Blood sugar seems a little low when his temp increases, or is vomiting but ok otherwise. I also have another son with FSGS (kidney disease) and this could be very detrimental on his health as well. Has there been anyone that was told that they tested positive for H1N1 with these symptoms???? Please leave a comment if you have.
First week of October, 2009
12 year old boy.
No real fever.
Flu symptoms: runny nose, cough, headache, general achiness.
Horrible red itchy fluid filled rash/hives on day 2. Gave Benadryl and IB. Hives subsided over night.
No fever, and felt much better the next morning. Sent back to school for four days.
Then rebound of the hives. Gave more Benadryl.
Emergency run to pediatricans office later that day when son returned from school crying that it hurt too much to breathe and that he had been breathing shallowly for the past three hours. Was put on nebulizer (first time ever for him) while in the doctor’s office.
Diagnosed with walking pneumonia and given rx for inhaler, 3 days worth of prednisone, and oral abx. Also told to switch to Zyrtec from Benadryl.
He has been fine since. Now I am wondering if he had H1N1 and the pneumonia was a secondary infection? He had NEVER had pneumonia nor any lung problem before this occurance.
90 WOW. Impressive. Atarax, from personal use is a wonderful relief from hives. Significant skin tears are not usually associated with hives though. We are surprised no other doctor’s have recommended this for adult patients.

Fever present? Not really Temperature? 99.4

H1N1 vaccine? No
She was diagnosed with Swine Flu 2 days ago, has had symptoms for about 3 days.
She has had fever 102. alternating between tylenol and advil to keep temp down. She had nausea and vomitting until she started taking Zofran (anti-nausea). She started having patchy rash all over today (Day 3). Very itchy, treating with OTC topical cortisone cream. She took one dose of Tamiflu 2 days ago, but then I saw on the news the psychological effects of it on children and didn’t give her anymore. Seems a little better today, but still has fever.
Had flu sweep through the house, Dad started it. Knocked down for three or four days, the kids followed a few days later…. High fevers (103), after a few days everyone seemed better, except my eleven year old son, who seemed to relapse and then developed a rash on the inside of his arm that resembled poison oak. We don’t get poison oak. I’m thinking it is a symptom of this flu.
8 year old male
Tested positive for flu
had a chicken pox type rash about 8 hours before fever,
by the morning after the rash appeared he had 101.5 degree fever and tested positive for flu

What medicines were administered after the rash? Benadryl and hydro cortisone cream
How long did the rash last? His hives only lasted 2 days with treatment but he still has the sunburned-looking skin and excessive itching.
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu?
He is in a Skilled Nursing place right now and has cancer, so it’s possible this skin disorder is NOT the Swine flu, but he was fainting and experiencing dfizziness with no blood pressure issues, coughing and stuffiness that was thought to be seasonal allergies, and then the sudden appearance of hives ALL over his body. The sunburned-looking skin is still there after two weeks, awful itching that is causing skin tears, but no cough or any other symptoms now. Atarax is being used instead of Benedryl because it made him too groggy.

What medicines were administered prior to the rash? Hydromet (for three days before hives showed up)
It is a homatropine & hydrocodone syrup.
What medicines were administered after the rash? Took claritin when the hives started, but it didn’t help. Benedryl a couple hours after that. Also didn’t help.
How long did the rash last? Hives subsided after about 8-10 hours, but lingering rash for another day or so.
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu? Hydromet. Had trouble swallowing pills for the first couple days, so the syrup was very helpful. Also, for me, this flu brought on a migrane-like headache that lasted for 4 days, then weakened (nausea, dizziness and confusion subsided, and I could turn the lights on again) The headache was still significantly painful but faded out over the following week.
Anything else you can think of? I don’t know who keeps saying that this is the same as the regular flu, but in my case it most certainly was not. I can’t remember ever being this sick. I was out of commission for a week and a half. It was truly awful.

My experience has been exactly like the post from “Landau”. My 11 year old daughter was home with all of the typical symptoms, fever (102.7 at the highest), sore throat, cough, etc. Broke the fever on the 3rd day, but then broke out in horrible itchy hives starting late on day 4. Still has the lingering cough, but otherwise, feels fine. This is day 6 and I’m still treating her with OTC Benadryl. Would be more worried if she still had the fever. How long will this last? She did not have Tamiflu or any vaccines yet. We just treated with Motrin and Tylenol Flu while she had her fever.
Age of person with rash? 38 female
Fever present? Temperature? Yes. Had fever of 100.7
Consistent flu symptoms? runny nose, congestion, cough
How soon after fly symptoms did rash occur? I was told I had hives, but in some areas I just look red like I have a sunburn. I have hives on my hips, knees, feet, hands, and went to the ER for swollen lips last night.
Was there a seasonal flu vaccine? no
Was thre an H1N1 or FluMist ® vaccine? no
Did patients fever break and symptoms lesson/get worse after the appearance of any rash or hives? Yes, actually I did seem to get better after the hives. The fever went down to the 99 range, but I did get benadryl and steroids that say as well.
What medicines were administered prior to the rash? Tamiflu. Broke out in hives about 1-2 hours after taking the 3rd dose. No one is for sure if that is what is causing the hives since it’s now 4 days later and I still have hives, but I am not taking the tamiflu.
What medicines were administered after the rash? benedryl, and steroids
How long did the rash last? it has been 4-5 days now.
What worked best for you for overall treatment of the flu? Nothing really.
Anything else you can think of? My doctor did not mention the swine flu or Tamiflu as a known cause of hives. he said it is possible that I reacted to Tamiflu due to them occuring 1-1.5 hours after I took tamiflu, but now they are stumped as my hives have gotten worse (not better) with Benadryl and stopping the Tamiflu. The only thing that seems to really help are steroids.

If I were the CDC, I wouldn’t say a word about rashes. If I were pushed, I might say. Between 1988 and 2009, there were 2,209 reports of (not serious)rash and 130 (serious) after seasonal flu vaccination. Everyday people get rash. Sometimes they get in after vaccination doesn’t mean anything
54 Deaths + 1 relative for total of 55. Go to VAERS, Data, CDC-Wonder
H1N1 virus infects body. Flu proceeds. Eventually the body builds up antibodies to the H1N1 virus so it is ready next time. You can tell if someone’s been exposed to virus by blood test for antibodies.
Pregnant woman gets vaccinated. After 21 days determine antibody level of H1N1. If it meets a certain, it’s expeced to be effective. That’s how they determine dosing amounts.
The flu vaccine is incredibly safe Anti-virals may be a problem.
Everywhere you read that the virus is kiling differnt this tme.
The tests for H1N1 aren’t very accurate according to the CDC and others so we would assume any symptoms like the flu are H1N1, since there is not a lot of seasonal flu cases being reported.
Yes, H1N1 is a “combination,” but symptoms generally are like the regular flu- although it seems to leave a lingering cough. The war is not only from the virus but the vaccines and anti-viral drugs.
We would be concerned, but not worried. If they are generally healthy, the body’s immune system can kick some serious virus butt.
If you are worried, head to the Dr.
Thx for the comment.
my daughter age three has sudden hives no fever but vomitted projectile in her sleep . a sneeze and runny nose…said her throat hurt that is why she vomited. Should I be worried, I have twin 10 month old boys one with a bad respritory poblems since early birth, they were said not to have H1N1 I think its something to worry about more than people are thinking. Isn’t it a strain of influinza A, swine flu and bird flu combination? Is that right? This will be a war in itself.
This as post has been hit more than 3000 times on its first day of posting 10.19.09. Apparently we are not the only one’s noticing that the CDC has failed to include a rash as a side effect of the seasonal flu, H1N1, the vaccinations, or the treatment. C’mon and tell your story….
