Hi please if anyone can help,
my son has had bad eczema since a baby on his ankles and back of his knees and we have come on holiday abroad to Mallorca we have made sure to keep him out of the sun and his areas have been fine. However Monday morning noticed scabs appearing and I thought never seen that before. He then started to feel really warm but never went above 37, that night he was so so restless wouldn’t sleep and constant crying. Then in a midnight nappy change noticed out of nowhere scabs and oozing skin all over ! Called the hotel dr who told us to go to hospital.
The hospital was a private one and didn’t have a paediatric she said his chest seemed fine unlike the dr at hospital who worried us and we was sent to another hospital to see a baby dr. Anyway he also noticed sores in his mouth and throat ( which explains why he wasn’t so keen on solids yesterday)
he said the sores in his mouth is cowsackie? Which I’ve learnt is foot is mouth and the skin is impetigo ?
he sent us on our way with antibiotics for the skin (amoxicillin) and also told us to give him nurofen every 8 hour but a larger dose than usual. He’s hardly slept since we fetched him back only if we hold him and seems very unsettled.
ive rung my dr first thing and been waiting for a call back all day to make sure everything ok as the language barrier was difficult and all his documents are hard to read.
my questions
does anyone know if this is definitely impetigo and in England could a cream or Anything be prescribed?
we are due to fly home tonight (12 hours away) is this safe?
he’s completely moving his head away to solids , is there consequence to him being breastfed only for a couple days?
thank you any advice is appreciated
, so tired can’t sleep and just so worried he’s never been ill ( so much as a sniffle ) since he was a baby
also the pictures were last night and they have got worse since but seem to be more dry today and not open but now he has a few open sores on his face , thighs and neck
