What Causes Sore Throat Along With Swollen Glands In Neck And Pink Rashes On Arms?
What are symptoms of Strepe throat? My young friend aged 18 has low fever, sore throat, swollen glands on neck, and a light pink rash covering his entire torso and his arms. He has been fatigued for last five days. The rash does not itch or hurt. He saw a doctor yesterday today, and was prescribed antibiotics, but he says he feels no better.The rash has spread from only neck and shoulders to his entire torso and down both arms. The doc suspected Strepe, but Dylan, my friend, tested negative on the initial test. Further test results are not yet back from the lab. How can I best help him right now? Do these symptoms sound like strepe or something else. He is anxious about the spreading rash and the fatigue. He has low appetite also.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sore throat along with swollen glands in neck and pink rashes on arms. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like viral pharyngitis , sterp throat , allergic reaction or acid reflux .

Doctor may prescribe anti bacterial or anti viral depending upon the diagnosis . Doctor may also prescribe antihistamine and anti inflammatory . Doctor may also refer you to allergy specialist , who may give adrenaline short . For now do warm saline gargles and take benadryl twice a day .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
