Hi all,
I think my 10 month old has chickenpox. Took him to walk in centre on Monday as he had a fever and slept all morning (unheard of for him) and just didn't seem 'right'. Was told he had the start of a fever and his tonsils were red so could be start of tonsillitis. Told to bring him back if any changes.
Tuesday he developed a rash around his mouth, under his chin and on his bottom, round his willy and on his forehead, was told it was his eczema flaring up due to dribble from sore throat. Then she said she could see some other small spots on his chest and wouldn't be surprised if it was chickenpox. This morning he has a few extra small red dots but I thought if it was pox it would be worse by now? He has s few under his armpits and on his hands.
How long did it take for your child to come out in spots? Did the have loads or just a few? I'm not sure what to do really. He seems much better in himself than on Monday, though we had an awful night with no sleep.
Guess I'm just looking for your experiences of chickenpox really.
Also, I know if it is, no playgroup etc, but can I go for a walk or to the shops?
Thanks in advance from a clueless first time mum.
