infected chicken pox??? help!!! please

[memma86]

so im new on here just wanting advise on whether you think my sons cp are infected? he is 14months old. I will put a photo as my profile pic as not sure how to attach. thanks

Can’t see any pictures unfortunately

I can’t see your picture but my son had chicken pox that were infected earlier this year. I’ll attach a picture - I was really anxious, he was really unwell but doctor prescribed antibiotics and they healed really fast so don’t worry.

Out of hours GP now. Get antibiotics

how do i attach a photo please

If they're red/inflamed around the edges and hot to the touch then it's quite likely - take him to a walk in centre and get him checked out, but phone ahead in case they need to take special measures to avoid infecting others.

If you think there is a chance that they are call NHS ASAP

He could get ill very quickly so see your GP if you suspect

Don't wait this can turn septic

If you look at my picture, you can see the red rings around the spots. That was how I knew. Plus he seemed so unwell in himself. I would call OOH - I didn’t and spent a horrible night panicking. And my DS is quite a bit older.

You absolutely must see OOH tonight about this. Don't accept no for an answer from them.

Would you say this chickenpox is infected it's only been there 24 hours
