Hi Everyone,

I just took my 8 year old daughter to see the Doctor and she was diagnosed with Scarlet Fever. She had a bad sore throat since Saturday and all the Over-the-Counter Medicine we gave her did not really help. Today she also had a fever and felt really bad altogether.

The Doctor prescribed Amoxicillin and said she could go back to School tomorrow. I thought Scarlet Fever is highly contagious. I remember that I was home from School for about a week or longer when I had it as a child. What do you think? Is it to soon to send her back to school tomorrow?
