This is not a symptom of my own so please don’t tell me to go to the doctor, it is for a piece of work I have to do for College.
If you could tell me the name of a disease/ diseases that cause this, preferably not consmption or TB, a little about it and other symptoms it would be a massive help!
If you could also include treatment options and how serious a disease it is that would also be fantastic!
Hope you can help! Thanks!
