Does this look like chicken pox? On tummy and back.. slight temperature and a cold.. he is also cutting some teeth which I thought was the reason for the runny nose and temp but now spots appeared in not too sure?

Looks like it. My DS is just getting over them and he started like this. The spots appeared all over after about 12 hours though. Calpol, soothing baths and lots of cuddles and he was fine
