12mo dd2 has a rash all over her body which came up on Saturday. It has now spread down her legs onto her feet, and this afternoon came up on her face but that has now gone down again. Her temperature went up to 38.4 last night but responded to calpol, and went up to 38 this afternoon. Again responded well to calpol. She's also a little bit snotty.
She seems pretty well in herself, except when her temperature goes up. I've been very chilled about it, on the assumption that if I take her to the doctor they will just say it's a virus and I should go away.
I'm having a sudden attack of nerves in case I've been too laid back about it. Is there anything worrying it could be? The rash is little raised red spots which you can feel with your fingers. And they do lose colour when you press them.
