What Causes Sore Throat,itchy Mouth And Rash On Ear Lobes?

I have recently just had a fever and it broke this morning. I woke up with a big rash on my ear lobes filled with puss and my face is looking like im breaking out. I also have a real sore throat and cant eat too much without pain. The roof of my mouth is also real itchy and my tongue is slightly sore. Any idea? Im worried its something serious

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The rash on the ear lobes which has a discharge is likely a bacterial infection and would need both topical and oral antibiotics.

Both this infection and the sore throat could be a possible source for the fever.

Sore throat can be viral or bacterial, in most cases viral but if the pain is severe then a bacterial infection may need to be ruled out.

Sores of the mouth can sometimes occur when the immune system is comprised, in this case , by fighting off these infections.
The use of oral antiseptics would help eg chloroseptic, bethadine mouth wash, covonia, diflam

I hope this helps
