Hi,
My 13 month old daughter has chicken pox (thanks for 3yo bro 🫣) . Yesterday she was hospitalised with a secondary infection in her groin due to infected pox , dehydration and just generally being very very poorly , she’s currently on fluids -and antibiotics. I’ve honestly never seen her so poorly and looking at her I can’t even recognise her because she is covered in infected spots all over. She is also on morphine 😞
i honestly cannot believe chicken pox can be this severe , especially when the NHS website states that chicken pox is a ‘mild illness ‘ .
i guess , I’m just wondering whether anyone else has been in this situation with their little one and ending up in hospital ?
my heart is breaking for her - can’t sleep or eat because she looks and is acting so poorly.
don’t want to start a vaccination debate but I really really would of have my daughter vaccinated (have to pay ) if I knew it could be this severe . Although I know its not given to under 1’s so she probably wouldn’t of been able to have it in time anyway .
thanks for reading if you got this far 🙏
