Understanding Scarlet Fever: Symptoms & Treatment by Specialist | CK Birla Hospital, Gurgaon

In this detailed explanation, Dr. Shreya Dubey, a Consultant Paediatrics & Neonatology, helps us understand Scarlet Fever, a common but serious infectious disease caused by Group ‘A’ Streptococcus bacteria. Dr. Dubey highlights that this infection primarily affects children between the ages of 5 to 15, making it a condition that parents should be particularly aware of. Dr. Dubey goes on to explain the key symptoms of Scarlet Fever, which include a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, flushed cheeks, a red and swollen tongue, high-grade fever, nausea, vomiting, loose motions, and loss of appetite. These symptoms often appear rapidly and can cause significant discomfort to the affected child. When it comes to treatment, Dr. Dubey emphasises the importance of using antibiotics, which are essential for combating the bacterial infection. She also advises using acetaminophen to manage the fever and ensuring proper hydration during the illness. Additionally, she recommends opting for hygienic, home-cooked food to support the recovery process. Dr. Dubey stresses the need for home isolation in some cases to prevent the spread of the infection. Dr. Dubey also discusses the critical importance of completing the entire course of antibiotics, explaining that failure to do so can lead to severe complications such as rheumatic fever, ear infections, skin infections, pneumonia, and kidney infections. By completing the full antibiotic regimen, the chances of these complications can be significantly reduced, ensuring a full recovery for the patient.
