<s>[INST] f you think you, or your child, have scarlet fever: [/INST] See your family doctor as soon as possible
Make sure that you/your child takes the full course of any antibiotics prescribed by the doctor. Although you or your child will feel better very quickly after starting the course of antibiotics, you must complete the course of treatment to ensure that you do not carry the germs in your throat after you have recovered.
Stay at home, away from nursery, school or work for at least 24 hours after starting the antibiotic treatment, to avoid spreading the infection
You can help stop the spread of infection through frequent hand washing and by not sharing eating utensils, clothes, bedding and towels.  All contaminated tissues or handkerchiefs should be washed, or disposed of immediately. Source: HILL VIEW SURGERY. Link: https://www.hillviewsurgery.co.uk/info.aspx?p=19. Field: Infectious Disease.
