Scarlet Fever
Scarlet fever is a bacterial infection that develops in some individuals who had strep throat. Scarlet fever can lead to blindness and even death, if unmanaged. Spotting it in its earlier stages is paramount to getting the medical intervention needed. Typical symptoms include a red rash on the face that spreads to the trunk, arms, and legs and also fever and swollen glands in the neck.
Scarlet fever causes symptoms that can inhibit appetite, including stomachaches, a sore throat, fever, headaches and general nausea.7‘Scarlet Fever (for Parents) - Nemours KidsHealth.’ Edited by Joanne Murren-Boezem, KidsHealth, kidshealth.org/en/parents/scarlet-fever.html
