Ds1 yesterday came home from nursery because he was feeling cold and not well. Within about half an hour of being home he had a temp of about 40C and was very lethargic (but still lucid). It didn't seem to come down with Nurofen, but finally disappeared about 5 hours later and he seemed a lot better and regained his appetite. He has complained of an achy tummy, but we've written it off as milking the illness sympathy (as he's ill, he's getting to watch back to back videos!)
He's been fine and bouncy today, but kept him off just in case - and now I've noticed that he's got a very fine pinprick raised red rash all over his back. Still doesn't seem that ill. Of course, it's now well after the doctor's surgery is closed, and him not being particularly ill doesn't make me want to waste out of hours docs time, but I would like to know what it potentially is to know if ds2 and me (I seem to have missed most of the childhood illnesses!) are likely to get it. Any ideas?
Oh, definitely not chickenpox - totally unlike those spots and besides, he had that last year
