Are these the symptoms of scarlet fever?

Stuffy nose, sore throat,itchy and sore eyes,red rash on body that itches sometimes, stomachache

Only a doctor can tell you if you have scarlet fever. However, it is the rash in scarlet fever that is very distinctive. The other symptoms could relate to other illnesses...not just scarlet fever. And, some of your symptoms have no relationship to scarlet fever at all.

The rash in scarlet fever starts out looking like a bad sunburn with little bumps. The rash starts on the face and neck but avoids the area around the mouth. It may itch. Next it spreads to the back and chest and then the rest of the body. You will develop red streaks under your arms and behind your knees. If you press on the rash, it turns white. About 6 days later, the rash fades and the skin may peel.

Other symptoms include:
fever (over 101 degrees)
sore throat
swollen glands
headache
just not feeling well
chills
muscle aches and pains (abdominal pain)
strawberry tongue (red and swollen)

A stuffy nose and sore eyes have no correlation to scarlet fever.
