My kid has high fever for more than 3 days!. ( about 40)!. I went to the doctor and she said it's just a tonsillitis!.Can it develop to scarlet fever later!? Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
"Scarlet fever is a disease caused by an exotoxin released by Streptococcus pyogenes!. It is characterized by sore throat, fever, a 'strawberry tongue', and a fine sandpaper rash over the upper body that may spread to cover almost the entire body!."

"Bacterial tonsillitis may be caused by Group A streptococcal bacteria, resulting in strep throat!."

Since strep throat can lead to scarlet fever, this causes me to conclude that scarlet fever can begin as tonsillitis!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It gives you a clear indication on what to look for as, scarlet fever is caused by the group A streptococcus bacteria, however, not all children will develop Scarlet Fever when they contract strep, however, you should take your child back to the doctor and they should check for the strep virus, as complications can arise!.
