Well the GP will know better than me but could it be a reaction to antibiotics?

Allergic to penicillin?
I thought shingles was only ever one side, but couldn't comment on the other options. Sounds as if it might be connected to the virus however, so back to the dr I am afraid.
(Do antihistamines help?)

Around a month ago DH had the most painful sore throat-of the not speaking/swallowing variety. GP gave him antibiotics after a week and throat seemed to settle down. Since then he has developed a rash down both sides of his chest, inside of arms, forearms and a few spots down his legs. He's itchy and lethargic. Diagnoses so far are a strep infection response (throat may have been strep infection), scarlatina, or shingles. Anybody seen anything similar or have thoughts on what it might be?
