A devastated mum whose daughter "doesn't even look like herself anymore" due to Strep A has urged parents to be vigilant for signs of the deadly disease.
Laura Rooney said she first noticed five-year-old Farrah's symptoms back in September, but medics did not raise the possibility of Strep A.
Now she hopes her family's struggle can help warn others after it emerged six children have died across the UK as a result of the disease.
