Patient's question:
My mother-in-law suffers from wind-heat, and my son used to take naps with her. Do you think children can get infected by staying with patients with rheumatic fever?Doctor's answer:
Rheumatic fever is a feverish symptom caused by the transmission of Streptococcus in the human body, and it is generally not contagious. If you suffer from rheumatic fever, penicillin can be used first for treatment. However, it requires approximately a month of treatment to completely control the symptoms. It is also important to regularly visit the hospital for related examinations to avoid chronic recurrence, otherwise it may lead to secondary neural rheumatic diseases.
