Preventing Scarlet Fever

Scarlet fever is treatable with antibiotics. To prevent the spread of the infection, it is important to practice good hygiene and to seek medical attention if symptoms arise.

Practice Good Hygiene

Good hygiene is the best way to prevent the spread of scarlet fever. Wash your hands regularly with soap and warm water, especially after eating, before preparing food, and after using the bathroom. Disinfect surfaces and objects regularly, and avoid sharing personal items such as towels and toothbrushes.

Vaccination

There is currently no vaccine for scarlet fever. However, the vaccine for group A streptococcus bacteria can help reduce the risk of infection. This vaccine is recommended for children aged 11 to 18.

Seek Medical Attention

If you or your child experiences signs of scarlet fever, seek medical attention as soon as possible. Early treatment can reduce the risk of complications and help to prevent the spread of the infection.
