Just that really, I posted a while back about a rash that DS had after going in the sun. GP adamant it was prickly heat, even though it was only on areas exposed to sun and piriton had done nothing to take it down. It was a phone consultation so he didnt see the rash. The only thing that worked was staying indoors, out of the sun.
The rash has disappeared everywhere but his face, which has persisted but gone down slightly. It was only around his cheeks/under his eyes and a little bit across his nose.
In addition to the rash, he's complained a few times of joint pains 'all the moving bits of my bones hurt' and being tired. He's usually a very animated little boy, but has been quiet and tiring easily for a couple of weeks. His teacher has mentioned it to me every day last week and twice he was sent home because he'd fallen asleep in class. The rash had gone by that point, apart from his face, so he wasn't having piriton which would have explained the sleepiness.
He had one episode of really reddy/orange wee last week as well, which I totally dismissed but now I'm starting to put it all together and wonder if it's something else.
I know it's easy to dismiss it as all symptoms of the hot weather, and I agree it could be, but we've had very hot weather before and he manages. He's a very slender little thing, and apart from getting a bit sweaty, heat doesn't bother him. He's just not himself at all, and hasn't been for a while but the GP I spoke to wouldn't take that as legitimate information.
I know I sound like the over-concerned mother, and I do doubt myself sometimes.
Pics above are of his face rash today, which has gone down considerably (he's not been outside for 2 days) and his legs on the first day he had the rash. You can see where it stops at his sock line!
Any opinions greatly received
