How long does it take for antibiotics to make you not contagious? My little cousin has scarlet fever and her dad dropped her off here and I can't help but follow her with a bleach spray bottle and clean everything she touches. She just started meds yesterday.
@adaline0914, well when I had it I was about 7 or 8 but I remember my body broke out in a red rash all over, I had a crazy high fever like I was delirious because of it, chills, and strep throat. Basically it's like strep throat on steroids. Luckily the symptoms are pretty obvious (I'd doubt you'd miss if your baby suddenly became super hot and covered in a rash) so if anybody contracted it you'd know. Don't worry to much... It's not taken as seriously now because they have the proper meds to treat it now.
They said it's just like strep throat? Can u explain to me what it is exactly since u had it so I know what to look for because now I'm scared @elenasmommy
There's no way I'd let her in my house around my baby. I had Scarlett fever as a child it can be dangerous to young infants be cautious
That's what I said but he has an appointment and didn't even ask until he showed up so I felt like I couldn't say no. But she isn't going anywhere near my baby :( @royalmommy
Okay. Thanks. I'm also worried because she was here Monday before they knew she had it. @elenasmommy
