The first symptoms of scarlet fever appear about 1-3 days after infection. The disease has a sudden onset, there is a sore throat, high fever (39-40°C), pain when swallowing, a feeling of being shattered, headache, sometimes abdominal pain and vomiting.

Usually, on the second day of the disease, a rash appears, first visible on the neck and breasts. It is in the form of small, scarlet-red, densely arranged dots, which makes it easier to diagnose the disease.

A typical symptom of the disease is also the appearance of a white coating on the tongue, which disappears from the edges. The throat is a vivid red color. After about 4-5 days, the tongue becomes red, with clearly visible papillae.
