About 18 days ago my child had typical symptoms of scarlet fever (high fever, sore throat, red strawberry tongue, rash over body). I took her to GP and they prescribed Penicillin 10 day course which she completed. After 1 week of completing, she started developing a sore throat again and a strawberry tongue. I took her to the GP yesterday but they didn't want to give antibiotics as there was no fever.
Today she has woken up with fever and has a rash as well. I've taken her back to the GP and they are confused why the scarlet fever has come back even after a 10 day course of antibiotics. Has anyone seen this before?
We are due to fly out on holiday for halfterm this Friday so I am so stressed out. GP has prescribed Erythromycin (5 day course) but I'm feeling so worried for my little one - she's 4 years old.
