A member asked:
My cousin has scarlet fever. how can i make her feel better and keep myself healthy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Penicillin shot.: The doctor should recommend penicillin intramuscular injection to treat the streptococcal scarlet fever infection promptly and completely. Do not come in contact with your cousin until after the shot has been given or you may get infected too.
