With high rates of Group A Strep and scarlet fever among children in Northern Ireland, the Belfast Trust has updated its symptom checker with details on symptoms and the options available to help.
It comes as tributes continue to be paid to five-year-old Stella-Lilly McCorkindale, who died as a case of Strep A was reported at the primary school she attended.
There has been an increase in the number of Strep A cases at schools and nurseries across Northern Ireland, which can be treated with antibiotics but can also develop into a more serious but rare invasive Group A Strep infection.
