A member asked:

I have a fever, sore throat, inflamed sinuses, slightly swollen glands and a red, bumpy rash all over my body that is getting worse ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dr. can check it out: New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep throat). Strep throat with a rash of many tiny red bumps may be scarlet fever.
