    Scarlet fever

    In all honesty "my dr said its tonsillitis and a viral rash but google says its scarlet fever..." Sounds pretty... Yeah XD but go with your mummy instincts. If you think it's something more, go to the ER.
    FWIW my mum had scarlet fever and she felt so bad she thought she was going to die. I don't think she got up from bed for about two weeks.

    DD had scarlett fever a few weeks ago, the tell tale sign for her was the "strawberry tongue" If it is scarlett fever the treatment is pretty much the same for tonsilitis but the doctor looking after DD wanted to see her a few times in the last few weeks just to make sure she didnt get any of the lingering after effects. Hoping that its not it xo
