Just a virus or beginning of strep A?

Confused at the minute. Me and DS have swollen glads, red throat, fever on and off. I have awful fatigue as well and aches and pains.

I assumed it was some kind of virus but colleague that had strep a recently said its very similar to what they had.

I know with strep a you need antibiotics asap. But is it asap when you have the sore throat etc or asap after developing the rash that goes with scarlet fever?

Not sure if we need to see the GP or wait to srr if a rash develops. I'm not in the uk so theres no advice line I can ring.
