Chickenpox now a purple rash normal?

[anitagreen]

Hi is this normal? I don't know whether to quickly ring 111 or what she has chicken pox quite badly and just noticed a purpley red rash that isn't going with a glass no idea if this is normal or not?

Nothing to be embarrassed about, you did what any parent would have and took medical advice. Hope your dd is on the mend soon

No, no, you did the right thing. Her symptoms were not run of the mill and could have been sepsis or meningitis as a complication of chicken pox. You didn't know either way because you're not a doctor, so you quickly took her to see a doctor, which was exactly the right thing to do. Thankfully she is fine

Don't feel silly. When my ds was sick I was supposed to call an ambulance if he vomited as it's a sign of sepsis

How are things this morning op? I'm sure you've had a scary 24hrs, so I'm here for a hand hold xx

Def did the right thing.

Don’t feel silly, it’s best to be safe than sorry x

Thanks everyone she seems good today she's up having some toast and her spots are finally scabbing over and she said she feels a bit better now x

That's great news OP

Glad your daughter is feeling better and hope she recovers quickly. Don't feel silly you def did the right thing. Kids like to scare us don't they! xx

Goodness OP how worrying for you. Glad all is OK, please don't ever feel silly about taking your child to be seen when you are worried. You did the right thing.

Thank you all again hopefully we'll never experience this again truly been quite distressing for all around x
