How long does Scarlet Fever usually take to run its course once you are on antibiotics?


Last Saturday night landed me in the hospital with what I thought was the flu and ended up being a shocking diagnosis of scarlet fever.

It should clear up within a few days to a week. If not, return to your doctor - a different antibiotic may be required.
