Hi, my 3 year old son was playing for the last 2 days with his cousin, however today I have found out she has Scarlett fever, so now I presume my son is going to get it in the next few days, I terrified, he had flu and Covid on 2 seperate occasions last year and was extremely poorly and we had to be in hospital for a week so now I’m terrified he will be very poorly, ps he is always one of those kids that gets like a 40 temp with any virus 🫣

SF is very transmissible - the vast majority of children don't get a worse illness than a normal tonsillitis (which is miserable enough). Fingers crossed for you.
