On thurs my dd (19 weeks) started to get a rash on the top. Of her back/neck area and was scratching when feeding (bf) at 4pm I called go as it had spread over her stomach nd started on her arms and legs. Took her to go who said it was a viral rash (dd has had a slight cough for about 2 weeks but hasnt been unwell with it)
I did some googling I know I know and think it might be a prickly heat rash or possibly hives. She is getting distressed as she is trying so hard to scratch. She's pushing her way across the floor in a bid to scratch her back and the rash is getting worse on her legs and arms. I've trying bashing in porridge oats bath and moisturising with aveeno. I've also given neurogenic a cople of time just in case that helps. Should I get her looked at by someone to see if she can have antihistamines? I'm trying to keep her cool in case it is this heat rash thingy but its not improving. I've got a wedding tomoro and obviously with the bank holiday I don't really know what to do. My gp isn't open now Until tues.
Any ideas? Or ideas to relieve itching? Thank you
