She shared a photo of the adorable nine-month-old tot on Instagram and told of the unexpected discovery after noticing Aria’s appearance change.

The 27-year-old revealed Strep A – which has taken the lives of 19 children since September – was the cause.

She said: “My baby girl has the dreaded Strep A.

“I honestly have the symptoms saved in my phone and have read lots of info on this because I was so worried like most mummies are.

“I feel like the symptoms vary so much in each individual, so I’m going to share Aria’s with you. They are not just the textbook symptoms!

“I honestly went to the doctor because her face looks so bad, didn’t expect it to be Strep.

“It breaks my heart but she’s doing just fine, but we know our babies better than anyone. Always get them checked if you’re worried!”

Chloe went on to list Aria’s unusual symptoms describing sores that wouldn’t heal and constantly crying.

She said: “Her symptoms: “Sores on her chin that was open and have now become infected: rash all over her body some: blistery and dry rash on her tummy: spots all over her throat, which I didn’t see until the doctor: checked was completely not herself just clingy.

“Randomly crying she also wouldn’t sleep at night.”

Strep A infections are usually mild and can be easily treated with antibiotics.

Illnesses caused by the group A Strep bacteria include skin infection impetigo, scarlet fever and strep throat.

Symptoms of scarlet fever include sore throat, headache and fever, along with a fine, pinkish or red body rash with a “sandpapery” feel.

On darker skin, the rash can be harder to see but will still feel “sandpapery”.

Strep A infections can develop into a more serious invasive Group A Strep (iGAS) infection – though this is rare.

There have been 111 invasive Strep A in children aged one to four and 74 cases in children aged five to nine.

And since September, 74 people of all ages have died in England.

The surge in cases is putting a huge strain on NHS 111 and pharmacists, with shortages of penicillin and other antibiotics reported across the UK.

Health officials do not believe the number of scarlet fever infections has yet peaked this year suggesting more deaths are likely.

Yesterday pharmacists in England were given new powers to prescribe an alternative to penicillin in order to treat Strep A as supplies of the drug go from bad to worse
