sore throat- not strep
Monday I got a severe burning sore throat with no other symptoms. Tuesday sore throat was worse I could barely swallow. Went to MD and had a strep throat test- negative. Also swollen lymph nodes in neck and slight fever 101.
No other cold or flu symptoms. I can only swallow ice water or ice chips. After 3 days I now have a blistery rash on my hands also. Could this be mono or something else- should I see Dr again?

sounds like scarlet fever, which is what my doctor told me that i had. the rashes on the hands especially explain it.

I would see the doctor again, however, it could be a severe allergy, they can cause all kinds of trouble.
