little red spots??

[SidewinderINC]

You know what, it is.

One of the reasons I say it's pretty rare/hard to get is because I work with pretty damn large quantities of most streps every day heh.

Did you get it when you were young? or recently?

scarlet fever!!! Yes!

Vaccinations won't stop you getting the disease just boosts immunity. I've had my MMR and mumps.
Fever causes all kinds of weird side effects, rash would be pretty normal. If it was me ( and this is just mho) I'd dose him up and let him get a decent sleep. Keep an eye on his fever, if it goes higher than is a normal fever for him call the doc. Don't panic about being sick unless he can't keep sips of water down and stops weeing.

I was thinking about that too. Hope Josh feels better soon!

I did the glass test as soon as I noticed the spots and its all ok.

His eyes are bright red it looks like he has red eye liner on and white of eyes is pink

Faysh said he'll be ok til we get to see doc tomorrow but I just want him seen to now
If he gets worse its straight to a&e.

I got it when I was younger

I get tonsilitis 3 - 4 times a year normally, but Oliver has never caught it off me, then last time I had it he got really poorly, and we had to get the doctor out at 11pm. He said ti was scarlet fever, and that he had gotten it from my tonsilitis.

poor boy was unwell for ages

Gross question, but is there any discharge from his eyes at all?

[Lomster]

He's had 2 mmr jabs so he is upto date.

bad thing is he won't take medicine he will make himself sick.

Lom, a night in a&e will wipe him out more. Tuck him up in bed and if he gets worse get a doc out to you. A good nights sleep is magical

No I looked as I thought of that eye infection thingy.
They are just red and watery.

Thats the other problem. crap new system means doctors won't come out here anymore
we will have to see out of hours doc at hospital.

I will keep an eye on him as he has high temp still but still won't take medicine and see how he is through the night.

I just worry too much when I don't know whats wrong.
Hate seeing him like this.
