Parents Need to Know These Warning Signs and Symptoms of Scarlet Fever- It's Re-Emerging (Video)

-
Watching your child suffer from illness can be terrifying and heartbreaking. Unfortunately, Scarlet Fever is making a come back and targeting children between the ages of five and fifteen.
Parents need to be careful during the season of cold and flu. If your kid develops a rash, sore throat and itchiness, you need to consult a doctor. Scarlet Fever was more common in the past, and modern medicine helped keep things under control.
The aggressive strain has been affecting children since 2015.
Children develop strep throat, and the same bacteria causes Scarlet Fever. Streptococcus releases a toxin and triggers the development of the condition. It’s accompanied with rashes on the neck, back, chest and face. The rashes resemble a sunburn, and the skin begins to peel after six days. The area around the mouth isn’t affected.

Symptoms you should be aware of:

  • Flushed face
  • Swollen neck glands
  • Sore throat
  • High fever (101°F)
  • Red rash
  • Abdominal pain
  • Itchy skin
Scarlet Fever is contagious, and infected kids need to be isolated, and kept away from other family members and friends. Put toothbrushes away, and pretty much anything that may contain the virus.
Kids are given a ten-day treatment of antibiotics. They should not go to school for at least one day after their symptoms disappear. Scarlet Fever may cause complications if not treated on time, such as heart, kidney, and other organ damage.

by  N.Morgan For decades the public was told that Q-tips are beneficial to our ears. Medical Q-tips remove excess wax from the ear, causing a sweet tingling sensation. However, although seemingly innocent, cotton Q-tips can be a great threat to your ears. Cotton buds are first of all, used improperly. There is no clear instruction on how to use a Q-tip rightfully, which ultimately leads to many people experiencing ear damage. Oftentimes serious, Q-tips are known to cause infections in the ear, aggravating the situation even further.
