STREP A AND SCARLET FEVER

There are currently high rates of Group A strep and scarlet fever in the UK.
Scarlet fever, which is caused by the bacteria Group A streptococcus, is usually
a mild illness but it is highly infectious. Scarlet fever is much more common in
children than in adults and it is important that children with scarlet fever are
seen by a healthcare professional so that they can be started on antibiotics. 

WHAT SHOULD I LOOK OUT FOR?

The rash of scarlet fever often begins with small spots on the body that then
spread to the neck, arms and legs over the next 1-2 days. It is often
'sand-paper' like to touch but is not itchy.

Your child may also have a:

 * Sore throat/tonsillitis
 * Fever (temperature of 38°C (100.4°F) or above)
 * Painful, swollen glands in the neck
 * A red tongue (strawberry tongue)



DOES MY CHILD NEED TO BE SEEN?

If you think that you child has scarlet fever, you should let your GP practice
or NHS 111 know the same day. If a healthcare professional thinks that your
child has scarlet fever, they will prescribe your child antibiotics. This
reduces the chance of their infection becoming more severe but more importantly
also stops them spreading the infection to others (after 24 hours of starting
antibiotics), especially to people at higher risk of severe infections such as
the elderly and those with weakened immune systems. NOTE: there are many causes
of rash in children - if your child does not have the other features above, they
are unlikely to have scarlet fever.

Group A strep can also cause tonsillitis (Strep throat) - your child is likely
to have a high fever, severe sore throat and you will see pus on their
tonsils.  Children with likely strep throat should also be seen by a healthcare
professional within 24-48 hours for consideration of antibiotics. NOTE: if your
child also has a runny nose with their tonsillitis, it makes a diagnosis of
strep throat far less likely and if your child has none of the red or amber
features below, they are unlikely to require treatment with antibiotics.

MY CHILD HAS BEEN IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH SOMEONE WITH STREP A - DO THEY NEED
ANTIBIOTICS?

If your child has been in close contact with a case of scarlet fever or strep
throat, they do not need to be treated with antibiotics unless they are showing
signs of infection (severe tonsillitis with fever in the absence of a runny nose
or signs of scarlet fever). Only in exceptional circumstances will the local
public health team recommend for an entire school class to be treated with
antibiotics.

MY CHILD HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH SCARLET FEVER OR STREP THROAT AND IS ON
ANTIBIOTICS - WHAT DO I NEED TO LOOK OUT FOR?

Your child may continue to have a fever for a few days after starting
antibiotics. Very rarely, Group A streptococcus can spread to other areas of the
body (invasive Group A strep), causing infections in the neck (tonsillar
abscesses or lymph node abscesses), behind the ear (mastoiditis), chest
infections (pneumonia), bone and joint infections (septic arthritis) or sepsis.
There is clear red / amber / green information below about what symptoms and
signs to look our for to identify the child with possible invasive Group A strep
or other complications of Group A strep.

 




WHEN SHOULD YOU WORRY?


IF YOUR CHILD HAS ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:

 * Is pale, mottled and feels abnormally cold to touch
 * Has blue lips
 * Too breathless to talk / eat or drink
 * Has a fit/seizure
 * Is extremely agitated (crying inconsolably despite distraction), confused of
   very lethargic (difficult to wake)
 * Has dark green vomit
 * Has a rash that does not disappear with pressure (the ‘Glass Test’)


YOU NEED URGENT HELP.

Go to the nearest Hospital Emergency (A&E) Department or phone 999


IF YOUR CHILD HAS ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:

 * Is finding it hard to breathe
 * Has laboured/rapid breathing or they are working hard to breathe – drawing in
   of the muscles below their lower ribs, at their neck or between their ribs
   (recession).
 * Unable to swallow saliva
 * Has features suggestive of scarlet fever (see above)
 * Seems dehydrated (sunken eyes, drowsy or not passed urine for 12 hours)
 * Is drowsy (excessively sleepy) or irritable (unable to settle them with toys,
   TV, food or picking up) - especially if they remain drowsy or irritable
   despite their fever coming down
 * Has extreme shivering or complains of muscle pain
 * Has a painful, red swollen gland in their neck which is increasing in size or
   a painful swelling behind their ear which is pushing their ear forwards
 * Is 3-6 months of age with a temperature of 39°C/102.2°F or above (but fever
   is common in babies up to two days after they receive vaccinations)
 * Continues to have a a fever of 38°C or above for more than 5 days
 * If your child has recently had scarlet fever but now appears to have a puffy
   face/eyelids, 'coca-cola' coloured urine (pee), or a swollen, painful
   joint(s)
 * Is getting worse or if you are worried


YOU NEED TO CONTACT A DOCTOR OR NURSE TODAY.

Please ring your GP surgery or call NHS 111 - dial 111

If symptoms persist for 4 hours or more and you have not been able to speak to
either a member of staff from your GP practice or to NHS 111 staff, recheck that
your child has not developed any red features.


IF NONE OF THE ABOVE FEATURES ARE PRESENT

SELF CARE

Continue providing your child’s care at home. If you are still concerned about
your child, speak to your health visitor, local pharmacist or call NHS 111– dial
111

Children and young people who are unwell and have a high temperature should stay
at home. They can go back to school, college or childcare when they no longer
have a high temperature, and they are well enough to attend.




WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?

 * If you think your child has scarlet fever, they should be seen by their GP.
   They may need treatment with antibiotics.
 * To make your child more comfortable, you may want to lower their temperature
   using paracetamol (calpol) and/or ibuprofen. Use one and if your child has
   not improved 2/3 hours later you may want to try giving the other medicine.
   However, remember that fever is a normal response that may help the body to
   fight infection and paracetamol/ibuprofen will not get rid of it entirely.
 * Avoid tepid sponging your child - it doesn't actually reduce your child's
   temperature and may cause your child to shiver.
 * Encourage them to drink plenty of fluids.
 * Good hand and respiratory hygiene are important for stopping the spread of
   many bugs. By teaching your child how to wash their hands properly with soap
   for 20 seconds, using a tissue to catch coughs and sneezes, and keeping away
   from others when feeling unwell, they will be able to reduce the risk of
   picking up or spreading infections. So remember to:
   * Catch it: always cough or sneeze into a tissue
     Bin it: always throw the used tissue in a bin
     Kill it: always wash your hands with soap and hot water

DOWNLOAD 'FEVER' ADVICE SHEET FOR CHILDREN OVER 5 YEARS OF AGE


HOW LONG WILL YOUR CHILD'S SYMPTOMS LAST?

 * The sore throat and fever often last for about 3-6 days and the rash usually
   improves within a week. Antibiotics reduce the length of fever/sore throat by
   about 1 day.
 * Children commonly experience peeling of their fingers and toes after scarlet
   fever.
 * Your child is no longer infectious to others (contagious) after 24 hours of
   starting antibiotics and can go back to school/nursery if they feel well
   enough.


WHERE SHOULD YOU SEEK HELP?

 * If it is non-urgent speak to your local pharmacist or health visitor
 * If your child has any of the above features, urgently see your GP. For an
   urgent out-of-hours GP appointment, call NHS 111
 * You should only call 999 or go to your nearest a&e department in critical or
   life threatening situations


SELF CARE


FOR WEAR AND TEAR, MINOR TRIPS AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.


SELF-CARE

You can treat your child's very minor illnesses and injuries at home.

Some illnesses can be treated in your own home with support and advice from the
services listed when required, using the recommended medicines and getting
plenty of rest.


SOUND ADVICE

Children can recover from illness quickly but also can become more poorly
quickly; it is important to seek further advice if a child's condition gets
worse.

For information on common childhood illnesses go to What is wrong with my child?


LOCAL PHARMACIST

Pharmacists are experts in many aspects of healthcare and can offer advice on a
wide range of long-term conditions and common illnesses such as coughs, colds
and stomach upsets. You don’t need an appointment and many have private
consultation areas, so they are a good first port of call. Your pharmacist will
say if you need further medical attention.


SOUND ADVICE

 a. Visit a pharmacy if your child is ill, but does not need to see a GP.
 b. Remember that if your child's condition gets worse, you should seek further
    medical advice immediately.
 c. Help your child to understand - watch this video with them about going to
    the pharmacy.

For information on common childhood illnesses go to What is wrong with my child?


HEALTH VISITORS

Health visitors are nurses or midwives who are passionate about promoting
healthy lifestyles and preventing illness through the delivery of the Healthy
Child Programme. They work with you through your pregnancy up until your child
is ready to start school.

Health Visitors can also make referrals for you to other health professionals
for example hearing or vision concerns or to the Community Paediatricians or to
the child and adolescent mental health services.

Contact them by phoning your Health Visitor Team or local Children’s Centre.


SOUND ADVICE

Health visitors also provide advice, support and guidance in caring for your
child, including:

 * Breastfeeding, weaning and healthy eating
 * Exercise, hygiene and safety
 * Your child’s growth and development
 * Emotional health and wellbeing, including postnatal depression
 * Safety in the home
 * Stopping smoking
 * Contraception and sexual health
 * Sleep and behaviour management (including temper tantrums!)
 * Toilet training
 * Minor illnesses

For more information watch the video: What does a health visitor do?


SCHOOL NURSES

School nurses care for children and young people, aged 5-19, and their families,
to ensure their health needs are supported within their school and community.
They work closely with education staff and other agencies to support parents,
carers and the children and young people, with physical and/or emotional health
needs.

Contacting the School Nurse

Primary and secondary schools have an allocated school nurse – telephone your
child’s school to ask for the contact details of your named school nurse.

There is also a specialist nurse who works with families who choose to educate
their children at home.


SOUND ADVICE

Before your child starts school your health visitor will meet with the school
nursing team to transfer their care to the school nursing service. The school
nursing team consists of a school nursing lead, specialist public health
practitioners and school health staff nurses.

They all have a role in preventing disease and promoting health and wellbeing,
by:-

 * encouraging healthier lifestyles
 * offering immunisations
 * giving information, advice and support to children, young people and their
   families
 * supporting children with complex health needs

Each member of the team has links with many other professionals who also work
with children including community paediatricians, child and adolescent mental
health teams, health visitors and speech and language therapists. The school
health nursing service also forms part of the multi-agency services for
children, young people and families where there are child protection or
safeguarding issues.


GP (GENERAL PRACTITIONER)

GPs assess, treat and manage a whole range of health problems. They also provide
health education, give vaccinations and carry out simple surgical procedures.
Your GP will arrange a referral to a hospital specialist should you need it.


SOUND ADVICE

You have a choice of service:

 a. Doctors/GPs can treat many illnesses that do not warrant a visit to A&E.
 b. Help your child to understand – watch this video with them about visiting
    the GP or going to a walk in centre

For information on common childhood illnesses go to What is wrong with my child?


NHS 111

If you’re not sure which NHS service you need, call 111. An adviser will ask you
questions to assess your symptoms and then give you the advice you need, or
direct you straightaway to the best service for you in your area.


SOUND ADVICE

Use NHS 111 if you are unsure what to do next, have any questions about a
condition or treatment or require information about local health services.

For information on common childhood illnesses go to What is wrong with my child?


ACCIDENT AND EMERGENCY

A&E departments provide vital care for life-threatening emergencies, such as
loss of consciousness, suspected heart attacks, breathing difficulties, or
severe bleeding that cannot be stopped. If you’re not sure it’s an emergency,
call 111 for advice.


SOUND ADVICE

 a. Many visits to A&E and calls to 999 could be resolved by any other NHS
    services.
 b. If your child's condition is not critical, choose another service to get
    them the best possible treatment.
 c. Help your child to understand – watch this video with them about going to
    A&E or riding in an ambulance
