It could be the rash or whatever else this disease is doing to him that's causing the aching. It could be a fever or something far more sinister. Whatever it is, Beverly knows she needs to figure it out as soon as possible. She just wishes she had some actual decent technology to work with. That, at least, is something all of the doctors agree on, despite the differing background they have each come from.

"The good news is that I don't think it's contagious." Mostly because she hasn't contracted it yet, though the rash does look something like what the ancient disease measles would have. At least as far as textbooks used to show. That disease was wiped out a long time ago for Beverly, so all she has to go on there is historical testimony and research. "The bad news is I'm not sure what it is."

A drink she should be able to manage. "I'll see if I can find some," she tells him, even as she tries to keep him from overdoing it. "Just be careful, all right? It doesn't look like you have much strength right now, so you need to rest."
