A mum from the East Midlands is urging parents 'not to panic' over Strep A - after her two-year-old daughter caught the infection. Amelia Davies was diagnosed with Strep throat and scarlet fever on December 4.
She had come down with a sore throat and a dry rash a day before. Amelia's mum Kirsty Murray, 30, who is six-months pregnant, was given antibiotics to give Amelia after she was diagnosed by a GP and said she was "on the cusp" of being admitted to hospital due to dehydration.
Ms Murray said Amelia was now eating and drinking more. However, she has had to book another GP appointment for her as she has stopped taking her antibiotics and has now developed impetigo, a skin infection, reports Lincolnshire Live.
