Streptococcus is a bacterium that is fairly common and can cause unpleasant infections. It is the cause of strep throat and scarlet fever, both of which can cause a number of symptoms. One such symptom of both strep throat and scarlet fever is rheumatic fever.
One symptom of rheumatic fever is a painful inflammation and soreness of the joints, including the wrists. Other symptoms can include chest pain, heart murmurs and even erratic behavior. Remedies are available to help relieve the symptoms of rheumatic fever, while the strep throat or scarlet fever causing it should also be treated.
