Brief Answer:
Possible Acute Streptococcal pharyngitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir/Madam.
I understand your concern.
I have gone through your uploaded image as well.
This could be streptococcal skin rash .
All you need to do get a throat swab,and ASO titers test.
Associated symptoms could possibly point to Acute Streptococcal pharyngitis.
Empirical antibiotic therapy in the form of Tab Augmentin 625 mg one tab twice a day for 7 days will help to eradicate the bacteria.
Please note these drugs have to be taken only under medical supervision.
I advise you to visit an Internal Medicine Physician Or a Paediatrician for further expert management.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
