Dc is 19 months old and has been in contact with other children who ave chicken pox at nursery.
She woke up 4 times last night, grizzly with a stuffy nose. Everytime I went in and gave her a cuddle she settled for 2 hours then woke again.
She has woken up this morning with small red spots on her stomach, back and legs about 5/6 in total. She also has a cold. The spots aren't liquid filled and she has a very slight temp 37.3. Other than that she is absolutely fine - full appetite, running around, laughing, full of energy.
Waiting for the doctor to call but nursery have said it definitely sounds like chicken pox to them.
What are your thoughts? The spots are small, red bumps.
