Scarlet fever: Sometimes strep bacteria make a chemical that can cause a rash.It should just resolve. I would not use anything accept antibiotics.

Comfort measures: These kids often appreciate the soothing qualities of an aveno bath. This fine powder is derived from milling oats & when added to lukewarm bath water can give them some peaceful hours. Light cotton, not synthetic clothing is also preferred.
