chicken pox help

5 replies

DD age 7 had chicken pox which began 3 weeks ago today.

she spent the Thursday and Friday night in hospital of that week with secondary infection, tachycardia and dehydration. She was absolutely covered.

most of the spots have healed, bar one or two.

last night she was very weepy again and today she has half a dozen “new” spots.

Does that seem likely? or something else?

She is run down for sure, spots are on face and body. Not sure whether a GP check up if they continue to appear?

I’d go to GP.

Yeah that’s what my gut is saying. When I took her last time I fully expected some cream and to be sent away but it was ambulance in minutes.

could she have got it again? It is going round school.

A hopeful bump for evening traffic. Anyone experienced anything like this? I can’t get an appointment until Friday unless she gets a fever.

Apparently you can get it twice but it’s rare. Can’t you get an emergency appointment?

They have said only if she develops a fever. We still sit at more spots, tired and weepy.
