dear Doctor, My son has got a Scarlet fever, and this diagnos was confirmed by pediatric infectionist two days ago. He is feeling much better. No fever, but only eaching of the skin bothers him so far. My concern is, what kind of consequences he can have in the future or after recovery. Thanks in advance.

Dear Farhad, Treatment of Scarlet Fever according to protocols is very important for speedy recovery. Most of the cases will rocover without any consequences. Some of the possible complications - heart and kidneys damage. I thought your local doctors should explain everything about this disease.
