Chicken poxx- how do you know when theyre infected?

[PrincessSparkle86]

DS 2 has caught chicken poxx from DS1. Hes 2 in April. Saw the first spot a week ago today... Hes got them bad hes avsoloutely covered! A week on and hes still not eating ir sleeping right. I was up 5 times last night and he has been cery very whingy and upset today. Hes not itching. Some of the bigger spots are yellow crusted with red ariund the outside... Im wondering if ges got some sort of infection and thats y hes bot right. Helppppp

Anybody?

My dd didn't have a lot but a few on her tummy were infected it sounds like his are too. We saw a nurse who gave us some special plasters and it drained the pus out of them. It's nearly been a yr and she still has the scars for those.
I would make an appointment for the dr.

My dd had infected on lots of areas especially her hairline, throat and folds of skin. Many of the spots blended into each other to form very thick and deep yellow scabs, the worst was a patch on hair line that was about 2 inches in diameter and was very deep, throat turned into tonsillitis and she had patches about the size of 50p or £2 pieces on the backs of her knees, arm pits and groin. She went down hill very quickly with temperature and was pretty much unconscious due to infection, I would say looked like they where healing one moment and over night she worsened very rapidly. Keep a close eye as dd also had one on her eye that needed checking daily by the nurse, this was the last spot to emerge and formed after 2 weeks of the first spots and whilst the others became infected. If that makes sence.

Hope your little one is O.K.
