A Gainsborough carer has also told her story
A Lincoln mum whose two-year-old has been diagnosed with Strep A has shared her experience to reassure others and help them know what signs to look out for.
Awareness of the infection has heightened since the death of multiple children in recent weeks from the illness.Kirsty was worried for her daughter Amelia as on Monday and Tuesday she didn’t eat at all and barely drank, and had blisters on her tongue. Kirsty hopes that all other children who get Strep have a speedy recovery like her daughter, who is still poorly but on the road to getting better.
After explaining her symptoms to her mum she started feeling “very panicky” and was too poorly to go back to work the following day.
