Strep throat? White uvula & other symptoms **TW photo

Sorry to add a photo, I just wanted opinions on my relative. She is in her 60s and has spent all week suffering because she doesn't want to let her work down 😳 by Saturday she was crying walking up to the pharmacy because the wind was hurting her mouth that's how uncomfortable she is.

Anyway, she saw the pharmacist who diagnosed strep throat and she has antibiotics until Tuesday. However, she still isn't feeling any better. She has a temperature, has been feeling very tired. Last night she said her ears were also hurting. Her mouth feels swollen and she said it feels as though her whole mouth is full of ulcers and is really sore but there isn't any. It really hurts to swallow but she managed a bit of food today but felt sick afterwards. As per picture her uvula looks like it has ulcers to me? Not the typical strep throat white spots? She's determined to still go to work tomorrow morning and said if she's still unwell on Wednesday then she will go to the GP 😳

Bless her that looks so sore. Is there any possibility it could be hand foot and mouth disease? Any spots or strange feelings in her hands or feet?
