The sandpaper rash and signs consistent with strep pharyngitis lead the physician to diagnose scarlet fever. The physician explains the diagnosis to the mother and oral Pen VK is prescribed. The boy feels markedly better by the next day, and the mother continues to give the penicillin for the full 10 days as directed to prevent rheumatic fever.
