Hello,
Thanks for your query on Lybrate
"As" per your clinical history is concerned pain in the hand,feet and chest is not due to jaundice so to rule out it please check your blood and urine for bile salt and pigments.
Do a clinical examination by your treating Doctor and check your blood differential count on tomorrow morning and if eosinophil % is high then discuss with your Doctor about [ diethylcarbamazine].
Hope that helps

Please consult a general physician who can assess the condition and prescribe the correct dosage and duration of the medication.
