How long until your child can return to school after being diagnosed with Scarlet Fever and start antibiotics?

We have just started antibiotics this morning right after my nine year old daughter was diagnosed with Scarlet Fever. They just never told me how long to wait until she can go back to school. Today is Tuesday and just started with her medication but she has a speech to do that she is looking forward to doing on Thursday, will she be able to go to school tommorrow or even Thursday?

Please, talk to your daughter's doctor, before you send her to school. Scarlet fever can put scarring around the heart, so, you really want to be really certain it is not too soon to send her back to school, already. If you give her vitamin E capsules, daily, she will be able to have her body fight off any scarring around the heart, that Scarlet fever causes, as well.

usually 24-48 hrs after you start antibiotics,it's safe to go back but check with your school to be sure.

Tradition has it that it's OK for kids with a strep throat to return to school after a full day's penicillin, so if she's not running a fever and she's feeling OK, Thursday should be fine.

hi,I am guessing now,I may be right and I may be wrong,but I think it will be safe for your daghter to return to school in about 14 days,you want to make sure she doesnt have any rash left nor a fever so to be on the safe side this is what I think is the normal time to wait after taking antibiotics. and resting. rubberstampr
