Homeopathy Medicine for Scarlet Fever

a severe contagious illness marked by fever and a sore throat

The folds of skin in the armpits, elbows, and knees can also turn a deeper red than the surrounding skin as the rash typically starts on the neck, groin, and under the arms before spreading to the rest of the body.

The skin on the tips of the fingers and toes, as well as in the groin, may peel seven days after the rash has subsided, and this can continue for several weeks.

Symptoms :

Scarlet fever frequently exhibits the following signs:

• Pastia’s lines, or red lines in the elbows, knees, and armpits
• flushed face
• white tongue with red spots on it, or a tongue that looks like a strawberry
• patches of white or yellow with a reddened, sore throat.
• fever above 101°F (38.3°C)
• chills
• headaches
• swollen tonsils
• nausea and vomiting
• abdominal pain
• neck glands that are enlarged
• Lips that have a pale lip color

Causes:

A group of bacteria causes scarlet fever.the bacteria Streptococcus, also known as Streptococcus pyogenesThe main source of these bacteria, which can live in your mouth and nasal passages, is humans. These bacteria have the ability to produce a toxin, or poison, which results in the body’s bright red rash.

Any person can get scarlet fever if they come into contact with infected saliva, nasal secretions, or cough droplets and then touch their own mouth, nose, or eyes. The infection can spread two to five days before a person feels ill and may be spread through contact with droplets from an infected person’s sneeze, cough, or saliva.

Group A strep infections have occasionally been spread through contaminated food, and scarlet fever can also spread through sharing utensils or drinking glasses with an infected personTrusted Source.

Touching a scarlet fever rash won’t spread the bacteria because the rash is a result of the toxin, not the bacteria, which is what causes the rash. Group A strep can cause a skin infection in some people, known as cellulitis, and these skin infections can spread the bacteria to others.

Risk factors:

You contract scarlet fever by being in close contact with people who have the disease, and it typically affects kids between the ages of 5 and 15 years.

• rheumatic fever
• kidney disease (glomerulonephritis)
• ear infections
• throat abscesses
• pneumonia

Prevention:
