She has a few spots on her tummy and back and it I think 2 developing on her face and she says they are very itchy , I've also noticed a couple are blisters , she doesn't seem ill, just extra grumpy .
I'm not taking her to school and I will try and get a gp appointment today .

My other child is fine and doesn't have any spots or any symptoms.

Should I send my well child to school or keep her off ? .

Perfect timing just before holidays 😂.

I’d send the other one to school until they show signs. The incubation period is up to a couple of weeks so she could be off school a month otherwise! I also wouldn’t bother with the gp if I were you, it’ll soon be obvious and they won’t prescribe anything that you can’t get over the counter. Obviously go if you’re otherwise worried but if she’s ok in herself other than Grumpy and with presumed CP I’d just treat at home to avoid the babies/ older people no double also at the gp.
