Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

1. With these symptoms, it is important to get a thorough examination of the rash and throat done.

2. A throat swab must be sent for bacterial culture and antibiotic sensitivity. A full blood count should be done.

3. Many infections such as Strep Throat, Measles, Rubella, Scarlet Fever, other exanthematous fevers, drug-induced reactions should be ruled out. Specific tests may be ordered by your physician.

4. You may follow up with the reports here.

I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be available to answer them.

Regards.
