Hello,
Red spots all over the body can be indicative of some allergic reaction or side effect of some medications you have taken in the near past. You can take no sedating antihistamines to get rid of it. Take care of our hygiene and also keep your skin moisturized. You can apply Calamine lotion or Soframycin ointment for relief. However, medical conditions like dermatitis, psoriasis, ring worms and shingles may present with similar symptoms.
You are suggested to get clinically examined by a dermatologist, get blood and skin culture done. Get assessed so that treatment can be started at the earliest. Get STD tests done to stay on the safer side. You will be treated with antibiotics and antivirals if required. For sore throat, you should gargle with warm salt water 2-3 times a day. Take a course of Augmentin and analgesic, one SOS when required to reduce inflammation and discomfort.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
