Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice

You seem to have Hives. Sore throat due to streptococcal infection could be a cause for your Hives. I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g Tab cetrizine 10mg once a day for a few days. In addition I suggest you to use a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion to calm down the rashes. I also advice you to review with an ENT specialist, whether you require any further antibiotic course for streptococcal sore throat

Regards
