chicken pox/virus/lurgy?

[thewill]

ds had fever over weekend, now spotty, but not looking like pox type rash.
also swollen glands. have been to the docotrs when he was feverish, and had them out too, but not since rash,
maybe justa virus? also, if it is the dreaded pox, do i need to go to the doctors, or is there little they can do?
thanks for any help

both my ds's have had this and it doesnt seem to develop into anything, my ds2 had it with really bad sickness and has lost half a stone and has had lots of trips to the hospital but it does seem to be a virus according to the hospital my ds has only just got over it but the blood results showed a variation of chicken pox as an infection in his blood, nothing they can do to treat it but it can be very catching to other children, mine had to have 3 weeks off pre school

oh dear, i hate it when its a virus, theres nothing you can do. im hoping dd wont get it (7 mnths), but very grouchy, so i think it might be coming on

i have three aged 5,3 and 10 months, the older ones have had it, but dd hasnt had it she is a bit grumpy but just got it first tooth, yours might be ok too, hope so

but ds1 didnt have it as bad as ds2 he had no sickness, just spots and a bit flu like

thanks buktus, what did you give yours, and do you think its worth giong back to doctors? apparently theres a lot of it at nursery

just the usual calpol or whatever medicine you lo takes better, there is so much of it around at the moment, it really is just a strange virus
