Hmmm, Not sure whetehr it was good or bad result at the gps.
Was quite pleased that my 'emergency' appointment was actually referred over to my own doctor rather than one on call so I got to see my own GP who actually knows me and the DC's.
He said its not ringworm, almost definitely not, it's a streptococcal infection he thinks, but can't be sure, Apparently there is not point in doing a skinscrape or giving anti-fungals unless it is fungal, but it's apparently bacterial, so I didnt get a skin scrape/anti-f's.
What he has said though is that DS's has cleared up, although it still is red and has no hair he said there is no infection there, just scar tissue and the hair is probably going to grow back, it's just that hair grows in cycles so could take a few months.
He has given DD some extra strong anti-b's which he said if they havent started to work by thursday I am to call up and tell them he wants to see her straight away so they will fit her in and take her straight back, to avoid the whole palava we had with DS and hopefully avoid losing any hair (it's thinning atm but not falling out in clumps).
Thing is it's the same anti-b's DS had and he had two lots of extra strength, that did fuck all, so I reckon we'll be back thursday. He said he has to give her them though as a first treatment incase they do work, but said no point bothering with the weaker ones as we dont have the time to faff around.
She isn't to go to school all this week, and maybe not next week! Then she'll be off for half term So could end up with ehr home for THREE weeks, her teacher is calling me back this afternoon to see if there is any work she can send home and we bought some work books in town so at least her brain wont turn to mush. Weird considering we were discussing home ed last night!
paranoidmummy try not to worry, a friend of mines waters broke early and she ended up going full term, as everyone has alreaedy said they can fix themselves, plus the hospital wouldnt have sent you home if they were worried.
