viral rash

[loopylou6]

Has anyones LO's had a viral rash recently? My dd has had yet another cold and cough, last night she had a temp, although it wasnt raging, this morning she is ok in herself, a little warm, but have noticed a funny rash, especially over her arms and trunk, have googled and it looks a little bit like this Does this look familar to anyone?

looks virral to me
Just check it fades on pressure although not looking like a meningitis rash at all.
any other symptoms
has she had all her immunisations

hi LB, yep it fades under pressure, she is a bit warm and a bit lethargic, but still eating and drinking, tbh shes not up to date no, im not sure what to do about that so its on the back burner for now

How old is she ll, what imms has she missed. There are a lot more cases of measles, scarlet fever around at the moment.

she is nearly 4, its the mmr's that shes missed

You really must think seriously about the mmr, especially being a girl and the importance of rubella re pregnancy etc.
But back to today - looks viral, just loads to drink, paracetamol, ibuprofen , keep her as cool as poss. If anything else or getting worse then probably best to call you ooh's Gp.
is it itchy at all.

Thanks LB, i know i need to think about the mmr, i got scared after watching my friends little boy deteriate after the mmr, but i know i need a good chat with the gp about it i think. Not sure if its itchy, sometimes she has a quick scratch but its not all the time, are viral rashes itchy? not had to deal with one before

itchy tend to more allergic -
hope she gets better soon LL

DS2 gets a rash like that after a temp/cold.

thanks B, am trying very hard not to rush down the doctors

Ive give in, she has the docs at ten to 2

LL - what did the doc say, hope shes feeling better
