It must be due to Cossack than streptococcus BCO rash is itchy, and it seems on hands and peripheral region than central and as title will not be high when skin infections is present. No other feature of tonsillitis or red mark on cheeks, so it might be virus, as detected. It is a self limiting disease, so do not panic.However, complications can occur so please complete the course of treatment by pediatrician. Joint pain however go in favor of streptococcus, hence penicillin must be given. Kindly follow your pediatrician.
