Tragic reports coming in from the United Kingdom have confirmed the death of a 5-year-old boy who passed away recently from the killer Strep A infection.
Sources from local media outlets spoke about how the child was misdiagnosed with the flu by medical experts. And despite the family continuously insisting that he had something else, they refused to listen.
And in the end, he died from the killer bug that has already taken the lives of several others in the country.
The child was identified as 5-year-old Jax Albert Jefferys who hailed from Waterlooville in Hampshire. He passed away on December 1. But what is really tragic is how his loved ones found out about his Strep A infection after his passing away.
“We sought help not once but three times. We don’t know what else to say. This is just a terrifying tragedy for us”- the boy’s heartbroken mother went on to add.
Jax is the 16th child in the country to have died from this terrible illness during the winter season so far. The country’s health department has advised parents and schools to be on alert and to have people aware of the signs and symptoms to avoid such unfortunate incidents and act before it’s too late.
The mother recalls how her boy was the happiest and chattiest boy you’d meet. He was so young but so loving and innocent, she further explained.
She was also informed by doctors that he was suffering from Influenza A but later on, after his death, it was revealed how he had caught the deadly Strep A strain. And that is spreading at a fast pace across the country.
Common symptoms of the illness include rashes, a sore throat, flushed cheeks, muscle pain, fever, and sores seen across the skin.
