She is on the way to hospital and I'm at home with the baby, worried sick, does this look like mottled skin?
She has bacterial tonsillitis diagnosed at hospital a couple of days ago, she has antibiotics, but I'm worried it's actually Scarlett fever as over the weekend she had bright red cheeks like she had sunburn, I noticed a very slight colourless rough rash on her thigh, looked almost like raised hair follicles and were struggling to control her temp even though she had antibiotics, she's been on them since Sunday evening now

My daughter's skin looks like that when she is cold. I know you said she has a temperature but she may still be feeling a bit chilly? Assume you're giving Calpol for the temp?

I've convinced myself it's sepsis I do suffer from anxiety badly, I've had to have a diazepam to calm down, it's the fact this fever just will not let up
We've been alternating calpol and Heiden for the last 10 days basically. Sunday it wouldn't budge at all so we rang 11 who said hospital
