Trying to get a GP appointment now ringing constantly as you know. Just whilst I'm trying here anyone know what this rash might be.

Symptoms

  • 5 day high fever which now appears to have reduced
  • no appetite and pale.
  • irritable and tantrums

Seems better today but then this rash has suddenly appeared from shoulder to ankles

Does the rash fade when pressed under a glass? If not then go straight to hospital. Hope you have got through to the GP by now.

Yes passed the glass test, GP said take him to pharmacy first. Pharmacist said it's a post viral rash as no other symptoms of Scarlett fever or anything like that. He seems better in himself now just the rash.

If their temperature has gone and they feel better it's likely a post viral rash, 2 of my children always got post viral rashes and my daughter didn't.
