General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to scarlet fever, also known as scarlatina.
It is an infection that can develop in case of a strep throat.
It's characterized by a bright red rash on the body, usually accompanied by a high fever and sore throat.
I suggest to do the strep test to confirm the diagnosis.
Meanwhile,I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation.
If the diagnosis is confirmed, a treatment of antibiotics is needed.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
