DD4 had scarlet fever over the weekend. I seem to have similar symptoms now, but no rash. I'm exhausted, slightly feverish (except for last night when my temp was really high), and my joints and skin ache. I have a swollen gland in my neck that is very tender, and one in my abdomen. I have spoken to my GP on the phone and he's advised that I probably don't need antibiotics at the moment (that was 11am today), unlike DD4 who, being muchyounger, needed them to protect against complications.
But, my neck is beginning to ache all over - it's worse when I move it, or I have to hold my head u p for too long (ie. when I'm not lying down). I don't have an aversion to bright lights or anything though and, as I said, no rash.
Would you be trying to get down to OOH this evening? Is the aching neck just general tiredness or soemthing to really worry about?
