14. Heart Inflammation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAdvanced or untreated Scarlet Fever has the potential to affect many other organs in the body, and the potential damage of an untreated or misdiagnosed Scarlet Fever infection might cause permanent long-term effects. It doesn’t only have the potential to affect the kidneys, but it might also extend to affecting the heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inflammation of the heart is common in some cases of Scarlet Fever, and it’s one of the most serious and dangerous complications that might go together with the condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you experience any chest pain or heart palpitations <\/a>during or after Scarlet Fever symptoms, see your doctor – and if you experience these symptoms at all, the same sentence is just as true. See your doctor for any chest tightness or pain, and sometimes for coughing and lower back pain: Sometimes all of these can be indicative of serious heart conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt takes a simple referral to a cardiologist for the right tests and scans to tell you what condition your heart is in: In the interest of your health, see your doctor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
