It is felt that all parents should be aware of the symptoms, which are:

• A bright red rash which feels like sandpaper to touch, usually beginning on the neck or chest.
• Blisters
• Nausea/vomiting
• A sore throat with swelling in the neck, finding it painful to swallow and sometimes a white tongue or strawberry tongue.
• Very high temperature

Please consult your doctor if your child is suffering with these symptoms as medication will be required.

Many thanks,

Mr Allsopp
