My 9 year old grandson has been diagnosed with scarlet fever. How he got it? I didn’t know that he can contact this disease in school?? Is it possible that someone there infected him? What we should do now?
I had scarlet fever when I was 14. I don't remember much from that time, I know it can come about as untreated strep throat. It’s more common than we think. I was out of school for a month, but I do know that I took medication for it and slept a ton. You should take him to see a doctor, he will know.
