Question 1

how can i get real fever or serious illness that can make me absent?

Accepted Answer

Get better Plan B: I'm not referring to emergency contraception/birth control but to fact that you need a better alternate plan than getting real fever and/or serious illness. Look around your local hospital. It's not worth risk of dying or worse (yes, there are worse things then death, IMHO). If you need an excuse, go see your Family Doc and tell him/her what's on your mind. S/he can refer you to appropriate help

Accepted Answer

Often : Often times when a person has strep throat they develop a rash. This rash is caused by a toxin that's released by the strep bacteria. It sounds like that rash has subsided and has left behind the characteristic dry peeling skin. Don't worry this is the normal course for this type of rash and the peeling and dryness should subside completely after about 10 days or so. In the mean time keep his skin clean and moisturized. Try thick emollient creams, they usually come in a jar, or plain vaseline. Be patient; in time he will be completely back to normal.
