Does this look like the start of Chickenpox?

DS 19m has been unwell for over a week, high temperature and very clingy to both me and DH.

Dr said just a viral infection but I've noticed two little spots on his face this evening, just wondering if it may be Chickenpox? Nursery have had an outbreak recently.

I don't know really, DD12 has never had them Confused

Chicken pox spots turn into watery blisters. You could get your dd vaccinated
