Hi all.
These spots have come and gone but some are new. They don’t seem to be bothering her at all but she has a bad cough (on and off at night)
please can someone advise if this is chicken pox? Dr wasn’t sure last week
thank you in advance x

Bless her. Mine has just had them and they looked a lot like this, from what I can tell from the picture. I'm not medical though. We treated ours with Calpol for temp & aches and Calamine lotion for the itching after a soak in a lukewarm bath with bicarbonate of soda. Hope she recovers soon x

Thank you! We will try calamine if it starts to bother her and we will stock up on calpol. Hope your little one is okay x
