How can you know if after child is taking antibiotics for 10 days that all of the bacteria from scarlet fever is gone. when to follow up with doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No need: Streptococci, causative organism of scarlet fever, is still very sensitive to Amoxicillin most often prescribed for. As long as the child took the medication full ten days and all the initial symptoms have subsided, no routine follow-up is indicated.
