I have done all the glass test etc ... am sure it is nothing too dodgy.
She is fine in herself ... no temp, eating well etc.
She has had a long 10 day stint of anti b's due to a sinus infection following a really nasty cold and bout of croup. Finished the course today.
She got a spot on her bottom yesterday lunchtime. As more spots appeared throughout the day I thought it may be chicken pox. But this morning there are more of them but they haven't blistered. They seem slightly itchy (she is only 18 months so she can't tell me). They are on her bottom, legs and on her arms but not on her body or face. They are pink and vary in size, mainly round or oval ranging from the size of an apple pip to maybe a centimetre in diameter.
Any ideas?
She is in bed now so if there are any more I will take her to the doctors in the morning but thought I would throw it to MN.
TIA

sorry to be so late picking up this thread - has your DD still got the rash.
My DS got chicken pox when he was 14 months - & reacted badly to the pox - came out in huge weals He still has the problem at 27 months - been to the hospital and they have said it's Urticaria (probably spelled wrong - but basically a form of Hives triggered by an infection - the deadly chicken pox!!!)

The hospital say he will grow out of it & in the mean time we are going through all the prescribed anti histamine syrups & applying sandalwood in almond carrier oil - and we have found this has been the best control especially for the itching & sleepless nights.

Persist with your doctor & he will have to do something otherwise he will get sick of seeing you!!!!
