I became unwell very suddenly yesterday teatime. Sudden sore throat, headache, fever to the extent that I had to go to bed. I'm still the same today. Feel very hot, coming over with chills, no energy, flushed face, sore back of the throat and headache.
I've done a Covid test and it is negative, although that may not mean anything.
I have developed very itchy lumps on my forearms, thighs and hips, but they are quite spread out - I wouldn't describe it as a pinprick rash. I have attached photos of my forearm and hip, with AirPods for scale.
Back of the throat looks very red and raw, although I had my tonsils removed 25 years ago, tongue looks quite pale and coated.
My uni aged dd wasn't well last week and I was in contact with her, so I think that might be where I picked it up. I saw her 6 days and 2 days before symptoms started.
Could this be scarlet fever? Given the high temp, should I contact out of hours?
