Hi there, I just wondered whether any of your children may have had something similar? My daughter is pretty unwell with throat infection, fever etc. She has seen the doc who has prescribed antibiotics. I mentioned her head but she thought it might be because she is run down.
Her head is red and lumpy and very very itchy, behind her hears is very red and swollen. She has red pinprick spots on her nose and cheeks and around her hairline. It developed before her first dose if AB so don't think its a reaction to that and she has never had excema or any other allergies? I did mention it to the pharmacist when i picked up the meds but she couldn't help either!

I think the best thing to do is call NHS24 or the equivalent as they are pretty good at this sort of thing. DOn't want to leave it go unchecked. Good luck
