DD (16 months) is ill and I thought I'd ask your advice; last time this happened I took her to the doctor who was very nice but said "non-specific virus - take her home and wait for her to get better".
DD was grumpy on Wed & Thurs. On Fri she had a fine red bumpy rash all over her tummy/chest (disappeared under a glass ok). Fri afternoon she had a fever and was very sorry for herself. Sat morning was fine. Didn't want lunch and then in the afternoon - fever and sad listless baby again. Has developed big raised red spots on bum. V. disturbed night and then today (Sun) she is fairly happy but hasn't eaten anything. Red spots on bum have spread down to knees (but not blistering). Rash on tummy is fading. Also has red cheeks and is drooling for England. Is currently running around living room with a car shouting "brum, brummm".
So, oh wise mums - do I bother taking her to the doctors?
