2 to 4 days after contact you will have fever, tonsillitis and a widespread scarlet rash. The tongue is coated with a thick white material then goes bright red, the "strawberry tongue" caused by Streptococcus bacteria which release toxins. Antibiotics shorten the illness and reduce the risk of longer term complications.
