Does anyone know if this is it?
DS had fever of 39, brought down to 38 with calpol, sore throat, headache, no rash. I’m waiting for a clinician from 111 to call me back.

Is it bumpy? Swollen? Can't tell in that photo.

Doesn’t seem bumpy no, just a few red spots and white coating

Scarlatina.
There's an epidemic right now. Needs antibiotics!
