Dd2 (16) was admitted to hospital today, suffering from a weird and scary skin condition - the worst is in her mouth, lots of agonising little white spots, but she also has spots on arms, legs and back which look a bit like angry insect bites. Hospital says infection or drug reaction (she's recently started Sertraline) but we need test results to know more. I've persuaded the ward to let me stay with her - in a chair all night - as i can't bear to leave her in so much pain in a strange place with lots of horrible stuff going on. Woman in next bed keeps being sick really loudly and i have stupidly googled and found all kinds of terrifying explanations of her symptoms. Any calming words would hugely appreciated!
