Overview

Treatment

Other than the occurrence of the diarrhea, the treatment and course of scarlet fever are no different from those of any strep throat. In case of penicillin allergy, clindamycin or erythromycin can be used with success.

Antibiotic treatment is usually given. It has however never been shown to reduce the chance that rheumatic fever develops.
