Hello,
I agree, with such a severe extensive rash, that you should be seen by dermatologist.
It is understandable to be concerned that the rash/sores will spread to the throat but many sores limit themselves to the mouth. This can still be associated with a lot of discomfort with eating and drinking.
You may need to consider a topical and oral pain killer to help. Chloroseptic is a topical pain medication that also has an antiseptic combined with it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
