Little Amelia was 'on the cusp' of being admitted to hospital
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 added: "Amelia doesn’t like taking medication at the best of times. I’ve had to put it in yoghurts and she's become wise to it. Managing it has been OK but it’s been hard making sure she's got enough fluids." Most children with Strep throat or scarlet fever will get better with antibiotics but sometimes they can become unwell because their body produces an exaggerated immune response, or the bacteria gets into the blood stream and causes a more severe infection known as 'invasive GAS' or iGAS.
Ms Murray said she believes the girls caught Strep A from their nursery. She said: "They’re both off now until after Christmas. I don't want them to be poorly for Christmas.
