To take him to hospital?

My little boy (nearly 2) has been poorly now for a few days, and I noticed these marks on his foot yesterday, and today I’ve noticed them on his leg, I thought seeing the initial one yesterday on his foot possibly h,f&m but now he’s got them on his leg so I’m not sure. He’s got a cough, cold, temperature and just genuinely unwell. Pictures attached when they upload x

Hospital for what look like a few hives? No.

Call 111 or wait until the GP is open on Tuesday but it's not an accident or an emergency (just from those pics alone)

No that’s fine I just didn’t know. So is that what it looks like then? It’s not really that alone he’s had a fever and he is unwell I just didn’t know if it was together and linked!

If you press a glass on it does it disappear? If not you should get him seem urgently.

Call 111 add they will give advice or arrange an out of hours gp appointment - soooo much better than A&E. We used it recently and it was a fab service.

The red spots look like bites.
I don’t think you need to go to hospital for a cough/cold and temperature. Have you tried paracetamol?

Millyjanice · 04/05/2025 10:15

Call 111
They can advise whether he needs hospital or a doctor appointment

Why don’t you call 111? Is he seriously unwell?

Could it be chicken pox, measles, any number of viral illnesses. Is he vaccinated?
