Considering that scarlet fever develops from strep throat, it should come as no surprise that one of the main symptoms of scarlet fever is a sore throat. The throat will also be very red and, in most cases, it will also be very sore. In addition to being red, the throat will also sometimes have visibly yellowish or white patches.
The throat will often be so sore that the patient will have difficulty eating because swallowing will be painful for them. Your doctor should be able to prescribe something to help with the pain, while lozenges can also be very effective.
