See his regular doc: There is nothing special about "scarlet fever" beyond the need to treat the strep A within a week. It is simply a strep throat with a germ strain that produces the rash. Complications of untreated illness arises about a month later. Keep him comfortable & schedule a visit soon when convenient.
