Hello, it's not me that's been exposed, it's my neighbour who's been exposed through my son (almost 4 years old). There have been several cases in the area and I know my son was exposed two weeks ago. He now has a rash on both cheeks and one wrist, it's bumpy and looks horrible but he's otherwise perfectly fine. Or it could be an allergic reaction and his ezcema - but that might be wishful thinking (because of my neighbour).
What should I recommend my neighbour do? Obviously she should tell her midwife but should I also convince her to get a GP appointment first thing on Monday? I don't want to overreact and scare her though - I can remember how easily it is to be terrified in pregnancy when the risk is non-existant or tiny so I am trying to make sure she doesn't google by not talking about it...
What should she expect her GP to do? A blood test to check she has it? If her GP says she's fine, is that okay (sometimes some GPs underreact compared with others).
