Tell your doctor: Once you have had rheumatic fever, you are susceptible to repeat episodes with repeat strep infections, and you also should have your heart examined carefully and you may be at risk of heart valve infections.

No: I assume you mean you had rheumatic fever in the past? This will always be an important part of your medical history. Always tell any doctor who is treating you about it.
