[|Human|] My mom is a post cancer patient, of this last winter she completed her treatments for oral cancer, had rad and chemo and no surgery..... She has had some complications recently with an outbreak in what appears to be blisters patches of hives on the centre back and upper arms armpits, ect, I believe it s all upper body,.. But she has been taking extra strength Tylenol, for headaches and general malaise,.. And she appears feverish, an achy ear and side of head,... Back aches as well, joints ect, also.... Could exposure to sunlight while taking these pills do that? She is reluctant to seek any treatment and always tries to avoid it at best of times... Advice?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in. Cancer treatment is by surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. In your mother, the doctors are treating her cancer with chemotherapy or radiation. Often the immunity of the patient goes down after taking chemotherapy. It means that she can bet mild infections which can cause flaring of the infection which can get difficult to control. It will help to make a temperature chart and then record her temperature regularly every 4 to 6 hours. If there are spikes of fever as seen in the chart then she might have developed an infection that is causing all her symptoms. In this case she needs to take proper treatment for her infection. She can also have mild cold and infections involving the nasal cavity and paranasal air sinuses. She can take Tylenol for occasional pain and fever but if she is having continuous high grade fever for 3 or more days than detailed investigation is required. Please do not worry.
