I have a DR appointment for DD this afternoon and I think she has Scarlet Fever.
Sunday - vomiting all day, no appetite and high temperature (burning hot). Thought it was a classic tummy bug.
Monday - Morning - Tongue turned white, red spots on pallet and white spots on back of throat and tonsils.
Just before bed bumpy red rash starting on inner arm and back of ears. Faint red rash (non bumpy) stating at top of legs and across bottom of belly. Running high temp all day but not as high as Sunday. No appetite all day but managed to eat some mini milk ice lollies.
Tuesday (so far) - some of white coating has came off tongue and bottom of tongue has red spots giving it the strawberry look. Red non bumpy rash has spread across top of chest. Rash on arms and top legs bumpy but not so red. Still got temperature and no appetite.
DH thinks I've been on google too much and it's just a bug. I think given it's rife at the moment there's a pretty good chance it's scarlet fever.
