Suggest Treatment For Strep Throat And Scarlet Fever

My daughter was diagnosed with strep throat and scarlet fever today. She s had a high fever off and on since Monday night. She s drinking some and eating very little. The doctor forgot to call the antibiotic in today and I didn t notice it until the office has already closed. I ve read about scarlet fever being left untreated and am now a little scared. Also my daughter is very small. 45lbs and 4 2 at almost 10. I m worried about dehydration. When should I take her in to the er?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. You should be worried but not too much. You may easily get back to normal range.
I see similar cases amongst young people who visit my clinic. At the first meeting, I advise my patients to go on having Amoksiklav in dose 50 mg/kg,approximately 250 mg trice a day for 7 days. Antihistamines-Loratadine 1/2 tablet at bed time for 7 days. For normal intestinal flora you can use probiotics-Visilac 1 capsule once a day for 1 month.
Also I suggest gargling with salty water, betadine.Resolve Strepsils 1 tablet 4 times for 7 days.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing your daughter speedy recovery and good health.
