Hi my daughter has been diagnoise with scarlett fever. she has mantained 97.8 degree temperature and does not have a sore throat. however she has a rash that started on her face and is now over her entire body. Her hands are tingling. Does this sound like Scarlett fever. she started the antibiotic 24 hours ago.
Hi. I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety. With the presenting complaints it may be due to bacterial infection like scarlet fever, but laboratory investigations to be done to confirm it.  Your daughters present with Fever, rashes started on the face and spread all over the body are classical picture of scarlet fever. I advise you, 1. To check for any swollen glands in the neck, also for sore throat in the future. 2. Do a rapid streptococcal test to confirm 3. Continue antibiotics for 10 days. 4. Consult your child specialist further Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.
