A mum is urging other parents to be aware of the symptoms of Strep A infections and Scarlet Fever after thinking her daughter had a chest infection.
Joanne Jones, from Llandudno, said her eight-year-old daughter Jasmine started feeling unwell with a cough. She said she initially thought Jasmine had a chest infection, but her symptoms became progressively worse.
Joanne told the Daily Post : "Then it turned into some kind of sickness bug, so I thought she had one of those 24-hour things. But after four days of hardly eating, I knew it wasn’t just a bug. At times she seemed okay, then her temperature would spike to 40 degrees.
