Anyone still up? In scary place

Dd2 (16) was admitted to hospital today, suffering from a weird and scary skin condition - the worst is in her mouth, lots of agonising little white spots, but she also has spots on arms, legs and back which look a bit like angry insect bites. Hospital says infection or drug reaction (she's recently started Sertraline) but we need test results to know more. I've persuaded the ward to let me stay with her - in a chair all night - as i can't bear to leave her in so much pain in a strange place with lots of horrible stuff going on. Woman in next bed keeps being sick really loudly and i have stupidly googled and found all kinds of terrifying explanations of her symptoms. Any calming words would hugely appreciated!

So it may be a bad reaction? I don't understand why they told you to restart it.
Glad she is doing even better!

Good grief. You poor things.

I am so sorry to hear that. Yes why would you restart something if it had caused the problem? I can see why you are unsure.
At least you are at home and she's getting better.
Good luck xxxx

How frightening for you both. If they’ve ruled in a virus and then ruled it out again are they now re checking for SJS? I’ve read through your thread and thought SJS from the start. I’ve had SJS, it was horrendous, and I certainly can’t risk taking the medication that triggered it ever again. Hope you get some answers Flowers

How confusing for you. I hope you get answers soon but it's good if she is improving even if only slightly. Good luck Thanks
