White tongue & red rash

Hi, i wondered if anyone had seen anything similar to this.... picture attached. My daughter has had a sore throat and low grade temp for a few days. I bathed her this morning and noticed the heat from the bath brought out a red rash. I took her to the doctors and they advised hand, foot and mouth, however i aren't convinced. She has since said her mouth is hurting and now refusing to eat. Inthinknill take her back to doctors tomorrow for a seccond opinion, but in the meantime, any ideas? Xx

Does the rash feel rough - like sandpaper? If so, could be scarlet fever. Antibiotics required.

The tongue looks a bit like oral thrush. That is very painful and would need anti fungal treatment.

Thanks for your reply
No the rash isn't raised. My 1st thought was scarlet fever, but the doctor assured me it wasn't. Ive decided to take her back to doctor this morning for a 2nd opinion.
