Hello sir/madam,
I am highly concerned regarding your child's condition. The way you have described the symptoms, probably your child is suffering from sore throat , most commonly streptococcal or viral in origin. The rash on palate and throat is an enanthem. It is essential that you get your child examined by your pediatrician and if required antibiotics can be given. Ensure that adequate amount of fluids are taken by the child, and give soft warm food. Do not worry, your child will be well soon. Thank you
