I went to A&E dept with my 9 yrs old daughter. I suspected Scarlet Fever as my other daughter had that a week earlier. We had to wait with other kids around us - rush and bacteria in Scarlet Fever case are contagious so poor littlepatients may get it soon... Whats more I was told by the doctor that it is 'probably' scarlet fever but it is a virus!!! how come, scarlet fever is a bacterial infection, doctors please study harder! she got peniciline next day from the gp (for 10 days) but no help at all from the hospital.... sorry, they gave her ibuprofen...
"scarlet fever - a virus???"
