I'm 40+1 today and pretty sure my DD (2.5) has scarlet fever. She had a fever plus vomiting on Saturday, managed by Calpol and fluids etc. Her tongue today is covered in a white coating and there's a rash coming up on her chest. I'm waiting for a call back from the GP.
I'm due to give birth any day. I've had a cold myself but more sinus-y that scarlet fever symptoms. I'm panicking a bit now about what this means for me/baby.
Can anybody advise? My DD seems to have turned the corner and is picking at bits of food again. Does this mean we're out of the contagious period?
