Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for putting your query up at HealthCareMagic. Scarlet fever is an infectious disease which most commonly affects children. Symptoms include sore throat, fever and a characteristic red rash. Scarlet fever is usually spread by inhalation. There is no vaccine, but the disease is effectively treated with antibiotics. If rashes and fever have gone you need not worry about the rest. The eczema needs to be kept in control by the use of steriods.

Hope that helps. Feel free to revert back with further queries if any.
