Rheumatic Fever
Why parents should take their children to the doctor’s if they have a sore throat...
(by O’Shearne Reihana Y6 R15)
Intro: I am against parents not taking their kids to the doctors when they have sore throats. It could lead to heart damage. Would you like your child to die?
Sore throats
Our school has nurses that swab your throat for free, if a child has a sore throat. It is important that we get our throat swabbed as other kids could get it passed on to them, So if tests come back positive nurses give kids antibiotics to take until they are completely finished. If they don’t take their antibiotics it could lead to Rheumatic Fever…
Rheumatic fever
If you don’t go to the doctors or you refuse to, you could end up in hospital, now think again! What if your child got RF? You would think I am the worst Mum/Dad I should have taken Her /Him as soon as I found out. That’s why it is important to take and finish your antibiotics if you have RF. If you end up in hospital you could have a long term weakness and illness due to heart damage. Imagine that!
Heart damage
If you have heart damage you could end up in hospital. So the doctors inject you to put you to sleep. After that they draw on you with a marker and then they cut you open. This is called an open heart surgery. If you survive you will have a scar and you won’t be allowed to play sports. Imagine if you were a kid who loved playing sports but only to be told you were never allowed to run or kick a ball ever again.
So this is why I strongly urge parents to take children to doctors if they have a sore throat. Otherwise they could die. Imagine losing your kids because you didn’t get them treated.
