Hello,
Scarlet fever is a disease that most often affects children ages 5 to 18, but adults can also get it. Are you taking amoxicillin for scarlet fever or another type of infection? If not, is there any reason to believe you have contracted scarlet fever?
I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact me again if you have any other questions or concerns.
Cordially,
David Tan, pharmacist
