Was bathing DD tonight and noticed these spots on her back. She’s due to start back school tomorrow after the Xmas break but obviously don’t want to be sending her in if it is chicken pox.

Have attached a photo.

Sorry me again, DD is now absolutely covered in spots. Has a cough and a fever and is quite lethargic. Is this normal with chicken pox?

Not sure about a cough but my DD did have a fever and not well at all with the chicken pox. Make sure she only has paracetamol not ibrofren if she has medicine. I hope she feels better soon
