Starting on friday my four year old son spiked a very high fever, and became very lethargic, and complained about his throat hurting. Well his fever peaked on Saturday night, and I started noticing a rash forming around his groin, back of his knees, and arm pits. Well i searched on the web, and decided its Scarlet fever, since he mathces it to the "T" even the pictures of the rash that I found. Well yesterday his fever subsided, and his rash started to fade. Well today his fever is very low, and on its way back to normal, and is rash is pretty much gone except the snadpapery like feeling it leaves behind, and its still red around his groin area. So I guess what I am asking is...do I take him to the doctor still even though he seems to be getting better on his own? Or do I let nature take its course and let him heal up by himself?
