Too rushed to check old threads
DD is 4 and last night it was apparent she had c/pox smattering of spots, beginning to crust. She was OK today, no temp to speak of, ate pretty well, was OK in oatmeal bath. Tonight she is v tired and wild with pain says it's most painful around her bottom (the site of the first spot was just outside her vagina and I think she now has quite a few there). She will not let me put calamine on, says it's too cold and has now got full-blown hate on it, but has tolerated diprobase on her trunk.
How can I get her through the night? Have given calpol and piriton. To reduce inflammation, just gave small dose of ibruprofen which I know isn't recommended but jeez, i don't know what else I can do. She sounds like a wild animal, it's very distressing
