Hello, and I hope I can help you today.
High fever and a rash in an adult, pregnant or not, needs to be investigated. There are diseases also, such as
Rubella, that can also affect the
pregnancy.
In your case specifically, I am concerned that you may have
scarlet fever. Scarlet fever is a reaction to a strep bacterial invention of the throat. Without antibiotic treatment, the bacteria can spread through your blood and cause infection of your heart valves. The disease Rubella (
German measles) can cause birth defects if the baby is exposed, and it also causes fever and rash.
I strongly advise you to see a doctor even though you are feeling a bit better. You
will need some tests to get an accurate diagnosis and you may still need antibiotics for treatment.
I hope everything works out for you and the rest of your pregnancy.
Best wishes, Dr. Brown
