Chicken Pox

My baby has been poorly for about a week. She's had a streaming cold, no appetite, and fever. This morning she seemed better in herself, but a rash has developed.
The rash is on her chest, back, and neck. It's little pink- ish spots. They're look similar to the pictures of chicken pox on NHS website, but not bright red. How do you know if a baby has chicken pox?

Best go to Gp to get a diagnosis.

Do they not want you to stay away of they're potentially contagious?

You might be right about that actually. Maybe call them in the morning and describe the spots. Mine had them a while ago so can't remember enough to describe them. I took my LO in and no one told me off so best to call first

Do not give ibuprofen / Nurofen

Have you done the glass test?

How is she in herself?
