Are red or yellowish eyes a sign of a serious condition?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have been experiencing a high fever for five days, along with full-body pain, especially below the waist, specifically in both legs, with the right leg being more painful. I also have pain in my waist, as well as in both hands. My eyes appear red and sometimes yellowish, and they are watery. I have nausea, occasional chest pain, nosebleeds, sharp headaches, and dizziness, making it difficult for me to walk.
I am also unable to eat or walk properly.
My entire mouth has a salty taste whenever I eat anything, and I continue to have a high fever.
Whenever I develop a fever, my body experiences extreme pain.
Kindly help.
Thank you.
