Scarlet fever continued for more than two more days, bring her in for lab work. Well, the fever stopped that day. Until a couple of days ago. Same scenerio. She ran a fever for about 48 hours. Then it stopped. I had an 18 month appointment scheduled for today. She developed a slight rash on her trunk. The dr. said it was Roseola. But more importantly, she had an irregular heart beat. I asked a lot of questions but got pretty vague answers. He said that it didn't sound like a murmur, more like the beat was fading out on the second beat. He tried to explain something about how sometimes the valves split but I didn't understand. I asked him if the fever could be because of an infection and also, if the fever could because there is bigger problem with her heart. His answer was maybe to both questions.
He told me to make an appointment for a month ahead for him to listen to it again. I politely asked if there was anyway to do it sooner because I wouldn't be sleeping until I knew something and he changed it to two weeks.
I guess I would just like to hear worst and best case scenerios, and how likely it is that this could be each of those things. Would I be making a mistake to wait two weeks? Could it be detrimental if there is some kind of heart defect?
Any further information I could get would be wonderful!
