Persistent fever, cough and back rash
My mother has had a high fever of 104 for fifteen days. She also got a big rash on her back two days back. The rash had blisters leaking fluid. Those blisters are dry today. Along with that she's had a cough for seven days now and joint pain. We have tested for dengue, typhus, typhoid, UTI and all of that came negative. She's on anti allergic medication now. Please suggest what other tests we can take. I have attached a photo of the rash.

The rashes appear to be herpes zoster which may need antiviral medication if it's onset is recent.15 days duration of high fever needs to be evaluated by a physician in your area.She may need chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia.
