Scarlet fever is essentially a strept throat with a distinct, rough-sand-paper like rash. Since it is a bacterial infection, an antibiotic is needed to improve symptoms - improvement that should occur over a 48 hour period. However, the rash may last up to 7 days.

Strep throat bacteria - how long does it live?
Most people with strep are contagious until they have been on antibiotics 24 - 48 hours. They should stay home from school, daycare, or work until they have been on antibiotics for at least a day. Get a new toothbrush after you are no longer contagious, but before finishing the antibiotics. Otherwise the bacteria can live in the toothbrush and re-infect you when the antibiotics are done. Also, keep your family's toothbrushes and utensils separate, unless they have been washed. If repeated cases of strep still occur in a family, you might check to see if someone is a strep carrier. Carriers have strep in their throats, but the bacteria do not make them sick. Sometimes, treating them can prevent others from getting strep throat.

Does strep throat and amxacilan cause balance problems?
It can. The ears, nose and throat are all connected together by fine tubes. The inner ear controls balance. With an infection, there is swelling. Those tubes may be swollen shut and cause earache, but the general higher pressure in the area due to the strep throat can affect the inner ear and cause balance problems, which should get better long before the course of antibiotics is finished. If it isn't, see your doctor.
Can you sing with strep throat?
No, During the time you have strep throat, you need to be quiet and rest. You need to go to the doctor to prescribe a antibiotic therapy or for kids, a pink medicine that I don't know the name of. You might be prescribed penicillin also. You could sing but not very great. It is horrible for me to sing after strep throat recovered because you haven't talked for a long time and after strep throat you need to warm up your voice again.
