A mother is revealing her heartbreaking warning to other parents to take their kids to the doctor if they feel they are not well.
The news comes as the deadly Strep A infection continues to wreak havoc in Britain, with as many as ten kids dying from the serious bacterial infection in the past week.
22-year-old Tanya Dawson says she was left heartbroken after watching her loving 5-year-old daughter named Lyra fight the bug. For her, it was just so painful to watch and she really wishes that no one ever has to go through what she did to see such young human beings suffer so much.
The infection has been spreading fast during this winter time and that’s why health experts are putting parents on alert regarding the ordeal.
Antibiotics can be given to groups of children where is a Strep A outbreak, sources explained. But knowing that your child may be infected and ignoring the symptoms is never the best way to go about the situation, the mom continued.
So far, doctors have gone about outlining the main signs and symptoms to be aware of. They include a fever, rash, muscle aches, and a sore throat as the main warning signs to be aware of.
Similarly, you’ll find soreness of the skin and flushed cheeks as other major symptoms that people are outlining to be weary of.
This young mom says her daughter started to show symptoms during the morning hours of Saturday, although her mom did believe it was some sort of normal at the start and hence didn’t pay much heed to it.
But with time, it just kept on getting so much worse and this mom knew that something was up. She rushed to the hospital, only to realize her daughter was suffering from that same deadly strain that took the lives of so many.
