DS (3) has the pox, day 2 of full-on spots, and started a chesty cough around lunchtime. He just threw up after taking Piriton and went rapidly downhill in terms of communication etc so I rang docs and have an emergency appt at 5:15.
She said the cough could mean the chickenpox is in his lungs and that would be "more serious". Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks (trying not to freak myself out with actual Googling so please be gentle).
