What does infected chicken pox look like?

My daughter is on day four of chicken pox. I've attached a photo on my profile. She's in quite a lot of pain, although not very itchy, and is feverish and off her food. I called the GP and described one of the spots, as it looked infected to me, and they said they would only prescribe antibiotics if there were three similar ones in a row all connected. Can anyone who knows about chicken pox take a look and tell me if they think she's OK? I am reluctant to put her through the pain of a trip to the doctor if they will tell me I'm over worrying. She is two.

Poor little thing. Sad I wish her better.

Yes, hope she gets better soon. What a roller coaster for you all. [Wine]

Wine indeed!

Any ideas of what to do with a grumpy two year old embarking on her second week of isolation with just a ten month old for company gratefully received.
