You can get Rheumatic fever from having a untreated strep throat
Well, darling, the period of communicability for rheumatic fever is about 2-3 weeks after the onset of the illness. But let's be real, it's not like you can catch it from a sneeze or a handshake. It's more about the bacteria causing strep throat leading to rheumatic fever, so just wash your hands and cover your mouth when you cough, honey.
Strep throat is a bacterial infection that makes your throat feel sore and scratchy. If untreated, strep throat can sometimes cause complications such as: * kidney inflammation * rheumatic fever Rheumatic fever can cause: * painful and inflamed joints, * a rash * damage to heart valves (rheumatic heart disease)
don't get rheumatic fever. Or if you do, get to a doctor fast and end the fever before it ruins the valves of your heart.
