Hi all I have also posted this in health as i could really appreciate some good honest mumsnet advice.It's fair to say I am a hypochondriac at times particularly regarding my kids health so I would appreciate some honest logical advice. Basically my 5 year old had what I thought was a simple viral infection a fortnight ago, he had a day or 2 of a fever, a sore throat, a rash sores on his mouth and a white/ yellow coated tongue, he recovered quickly but I took him to his gp as a precaution mainly due to the rash. His GP said it was a viral infection and to give him calpol. My son appeared fully recovered fairly quickly and went back to school 48 hours later. However this past few days I have noticed peeling on his fingers and when I went on the dreaded Internet just to see if there was any creams to use etc one of the conditions to cause this was Kawasaki disease which if left untreated can cause heart problems. Some of the symptoms such as the rash and the mouth sores were relevant to my son but others such as the red eyes and 5 days of fever weren't. However now that his fingers are peeling within the timeframe of it being this illness,I am wondering whether to go back to the gps. The thing is I don't want to come across as a know it all/ over anxious parent and my husband thinks my son is fine and would appear more ill if this was the case. The peeling fingers are the only symptoms he currently has and he is very well in himself!
