1. Since there is history of streptococcal infection, thus red spots could be starting of scarlet fever and is usually a mild illness but it needs to be treated with antibiotics to prevent long term complication(s).
2. Since there is no vaccine to prevent scarlet fever thus best management is:
. proper hand washing
. stay away from school [after starting of antibiotics]
. avoid sharing personnel items
. maintain proper oral hygiene [to prevent oral ulcers]
. check with a child specialist for further guidance and advise.
