My dd, who's 2 1/2, developed a pin prick bumpy red rash on her torso on sunday, but is fine in herself. On monday she went to childminders, and when I picked her up, her cheeks and under her eyes were swollen. Took her to the doctor, who pretty much shrugged and said, "I don't know, but keep an eye on her
The rash on her body has since gone down, though still bumpy, but she is still swollen and now has a red rash on her cheeks and chin that's a bit rough. Have put sudocrem on but doesn't seem to do much.Have been googling but can't find anything, I don't think it's slapped cheek as no cold symptoms, and the rash on her body appeared first. Think it's just some viral thing, but wondered if anyone else has experienced this? Also any ideas on something I could put on to soothe the cheek rash.
