DS is 11 months and 1 week. The spots appeared Saturday evening. He started suffering really badly last night and basically spent the night awake crying. He's cried most of today and hasn't taken anything more than 2 20 minute sleeps. I've been giving him medised as this is allowed at his age and I know it has some kind of antihistamine in it which should help reduce the spots inflamation. I've also given him a bicarbonate of soda tepid bath as I've been told this also helps. As far as putting cream on him I seriously don't know where to start. Part of me feels like simply opening a bottle of calamine and pouring it over him. I've also put him into a summer weight sleeping bag as he has a high temp (despite the medised).
He's a serious thumb sucker and although I can't see any spots in his mouth (not that he will tolerate a fullscale examination) I'm wondering if that is also not helping.
Any other tips/advice.
Given that my 7year old is about 36 hours behind him and my 3 year old is just recovering I'm knackered, and tearful and would really love any other toughts that I could at least try and do.
