If a child is diagnosed with scarlet fever,should the family members too receive antibiotics as prophylaxis? |
and for how many days? Here are some sites you might find useful. Good luck! When I was a teenager our family passed around a rather nasty strain of strep and my brother got rheumatic fever. We all had to get a shot in the butt, just once. My brother was hospitalized but luckily it was treated before there was any damage to his heart. no it is harmless these days scarlet fever is contagious you should seek advice from your medical doctor It is a very good idea for anyone who was in contact with the person, including the whole family, to have prophylactic antibiotic treatments for a few days, until the level of the bacterial load in the victim has reduced to levels that are not considered to be particulary contagious. |
