Particularly virulent dose of Chicken Pox...when to see the doctor

[LackaDAISYcal]

DD, 4.5 came down with CP on Friday. By this morning she has upwards of 600 individual spots, and Is very poorly with it and has been in and out of a fever all day.

She had loads in her mouth and throat, and this evening is struggling to swallow. It hurts for her to open her mouth, but from what I could see the lesions on her tonsils are white and her tonsils are very swollen. I'm worried about it having gone bacterial, but am not sure what they will realistically do, or even if they will see her given she is still contagious.

Calpol and ibuprofen giving her a couple of hours relief before she crashes again :(
I hate seeing her so ill, and not being able to help :(

thanks meanmom, I'm glad your DD is on the mend. I spoke to my GP yesterday who said he would do a prescription for an antibiotic cream if necessary. The ones near her ears which have been knocked where she has been tucking her hair behind her ears are looking like big fat zits today, so I guess I need to make the call.
She is still pretty miserable, but nowhere near as bad, and the first ones have started to scab over now!
