Rash: A red, bumpy rash that usually appears on the face, neck, and chest. It may spread to other parts of the body.

Strawberry Tongue: A tongue that is red and bumpy, similar to the texture of a strawberry. It may also have white patches.

Fever: A fever of 101°F (38.3°C) or higher.

Sore Throat: A sore throat that may be accompanied by a headache.

Swollen Glands: Swollen lymph nodes in the neck and under the jaw.

Nausea and Vomiting: Nausea and vomiting may occur, especially in younger children.

The two most common symptoms of scarlet fever are a sore throat and a high fever. Other signs may include a red rash on the body, swollen neck glands, a white coating on the tongue, and a headache. In more severe cases, nausea and vomiting may occur. It is important to seek medical attention if any of these symptoms are present as scarlet fever can be contagious and can lead to more serious complications.

Scarlet fever, also known as scarlatina, is an infectious bacterial disease that is caused by Streptococcus pyogenes bacteria. It is characterised by a distinctive pink-red rash over the body, as well as a number of other symptoms.

The two most common symptoms of scarlet fever are a distinctive pink-red rash and a “strawberry” tongue. The rash typically begins on the chest and stomach before spreading to the rest of the body. It is often raised and may feel itchy. It may also have a sandpaper-like texture. In addition to the rash, the tongue may become swollen and covered with a bright red, bumpy coating that resembles the skin of a strawberry.

Other symptoms of scarlet fever include a sore throat, fever, headache, chills, nausea, vomiting, and swollen glands in the neck. In some cases, the fingertips and toes may also become swollen. In addition, scarlet fever may cause a general feeling of fatigue and discomfort.

If left untreated, scarlet fever can lead to complications such as pneumonia, kidney inflammation, and rheumatic fever. Therefore, it is important to seek medical attention if any of the previously mentioned symptoms are experienced.

Scarlet fever is an infection caused by the Streptococcus bacteria. The two main symptoms of scarlet fever are sore throat and fever. Other common symptoms include headache, swollen glands, a red rash that feels like sandpaper, nausea and vomiting, and a red tongue. In some cases, a white coating may form on the tongue, and the skin may peel after the rash has disappeared. If you or your child experience any of these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention right away.
