My 2yo DS has been exposed to chicken pox last week and since Monday he hasnt really been himself, a lot more grizzly and unsettled. Today he has started scratching all over an i noticed a red area on his feet with small white bumps. This disappeared after about an hour (co-inciding with when i gave him calpol) but has appeared elsewhere on his body (tummy then later his chin) and disappeared again.
We've given him childrens piriton and calpol and he's gone to bed ok.
Does this sound like The Pox? He just doesnt have any obvious spots. I know some kids only get a handful but i would have thought they would have started appearing, or staying by now.
We have a 7week old DD who is breastfed and we are keeping our fingers crossed she wont get it, or at least if she does it wont be too bad.
