Hi. My daughter got up yesterday morning with loads of white spots, like nat bites all over her chest and a really sore bit above her belly button, she was really itchy and in alot of pain. Then it spread to her back and neck, then arms and legs. She also had a raging temp which has gone down alot today but the rash is still there, a raised bumpy red rash covering her tummy and some on her back and the same on her cheeks. I took her to the walk in clinic yesterday and they said it was a severe allergic reation to something, but not sure what. All I can think of is she took a tiny bite of a homemade cake at an easter fare on thursday night and also had a chocolate egg wrapped in foil which was probably really cheap chocolate. If it was a reaction would it be better today?
I looked up scarlet fever and the rash looks similar and she has a white coating on the tounge with tiny red spots.
Any help/ advice please, thanks!

Seek medical advice - out of hours doctor or something.

Have you given her an antihistimine to help with the reaction?

My dd2 has just had a mega reaction to something in nitty gritty shampoo - but it was a contact thing where her hair was on her face, fringe area etc. it was very bad Friday, almost gone now as an idea of timescale. She had it once before when she used some of her older sister's makeup, illegally!

Sorry to hear this

My ds has had scarlet fever and symptoms as you described. He also had Strep throat along with it which the doctor said had caused the 'scarlet fever' looked on google 'linked '

He got better after 2 weeks of penicillin did the doctor give anything? Allbe it after 3 days he greatly improved

Hope she's feeling better xx
