Rash

So I posted about my little girl the other day having red random spots on her body. Coming and going for at least 4 weeks now. She’s been so unsettled for the last 4 days now (since I’ve taken her to doctors). Is this an allergy rash or heat rash? She’s been in her vest all day so she hasn’t really been hot/warm. I’ve gave piriton twice today as I noticed it after breakfast when I got her changed. I’m guessing and guessing everything possible. I’ll attach her red spots and then the rash…

Has she been unwell recently or had any of her vaccinations recently?

Could be an allergy....could be heat too given its been pretty humid over the last few months. I would keep her cool and give piriton for a week in case it is an allergy. Then if it hasn't gone I would be going to the GP.

She’s had the spots for 4 weeks so from July. She had her 1 year injections on the 15th august. But the rash has appeared today. I’ll keep on top of the piriton and see if it all goes. She has just cut two more teeth too so I’m guessing it’s abit of everything. She’s been so mardy and irritable these last 4 days though. She’s gone off her food but taking all her bottles of milk. She’s had no temp, sickness of diarrhoea. Just the spots and the rash

Ah I see, so there is a lot going on and the jabs were a few weeks ago too. I recall my ds getting a pretty awful rash after his 1yr vaccinations and it was a generally grotty time...he was very miserable! As long as your little one is keeping the liquids going, I'm sure the food appetite will return soon. See how it goes and then if no improvement after a week or so, definitely get her checked over by the GP. Hopefully it won't need to come to that and she recovers soon 🙏
