Fellow mumsnetters I require advice please.
My poor teething 1 year old DS has red spots over his chest, face and happy area.
I'm a first time mum and the immediate thing that came to mind was chicken pox.
He's not to my knowledge been exposed to kids that have it but he has been around other children a lot lately.
He was meant to have his one year jabs today but I'm probably going to have to reschedule that.
I want to take him to the doctors to get this spotty rash officially diagnosed as the spots don't seem to be the same look as full blown chicken pox and i want to make sure it's not something more serious.
DS has had a slightly raised temperature although still below 38 and has been extremely irritable.
My concern is that I don't want to expose vulnerable others to chicken pox but at the same time I want to get it diagnosed so I can be sure of what it is.
What would you do in my situation?
Any advice you can give would be gratefully received.
