DS, 1 year old today !, developed a blotchy rash in a few places over his forehead this afternoon.

It doesn't seem to be bothering him, but it feels hot to the touch and a wee bit swollen.

His temp is up by about 0.2 and he's had a cough since Christmas and a runny nose for the last couple of days. He also slept particularly well last night. Other than that he's fine, alert and happy.

He had scrambeld egg for his lunch, which he's only had a couple of times before, but always been OK with it and He hasn't had any big bumps today. So I don't kow what it is.

COuld it be something nasty ? Should I take him to the docs ?

He's having a huge birthday party on Saturday with lots of other babies and I really want him to be well (and not contagious) for it.

help !

It could be part of a virus if he has cough and runny nose - urticaria see here. Does it respond to piriton? I would take him to GP if its still bad tomorrow.
