Chicken pox??

[NBailey7]

My DD was in close contact with another child that ended up having chicken pox - I look after this other child in my house so they were together for the few days leading up to the spots appearing, as soon as I noticed a spot that then blistered I sent him home.
This was 20 days ago and I’ve been going crazy waiting for her to get it as well as we’re due to go on holiday in 4 days!
She has been getting little red spots appearing and disappearing for the past like 10 days, last week she had loss of appetite and was fussier than usual, waking in the night etc, now she’s completely fine in herself but still getting the odd red spot that comes and goes… has anyone experienced this? Could it be mild chicken pox or maybe a pre-show to the main event!?
I’m terrified she’ll get it just before the holiday 😩 hopeful she won’t get it during the holiday if we do make it as the 21 days incubation will be well and truly over!

I’d say the red spots that keep disappearing are just a coicendience and not related to pox.
Pox spots are unmistakable and deffo don’t disappear without pus and scabbing.

She could have hand foot and mouth? These also have small spots and you have a loss of appetite.

Both my DC have had pox, they had lots of exposures before they got it. My youngest had it at Xmas- she was at nursery lots leading up to it… didn’t pass it onto anyone at all

Thank you, I did wonder whether she’s always gotten these little red spots and I’m just noticing them now because I’m looking for chicken pox! Going slightly insane!
I read there’s a 90% chance of children catching it when exposed to it, that’s what got me worried.. otherwise I’d probably be assuming she’s missed it this time and looking forward to my holiday.. I just can’t relax!
