Scarlet Fever...?

0 ⤊

Is "Scarletini" the same thing as Scarlet Fever? The doctor said that I have strep throat with a touch of Scarletini. I don't know if I spelled that right. The other morning I woke up with body aches, and a little fever. Then, today, I woke up feel completely better, but I had little, red, itchy bumps mostly on my stomach, back, chest, and shoulders, and a few on my arms and legs.

No, scarlettina is a viral infection and scarlet fever is a reaction to a strep infection. I think you misunderstood him.

Watch those little red bumps though, it could be an allergic reaction to your medication.
