Poor L has developed a rash over his body. started with a few spots on monday then by Wednesday it was all over him. Took him to the Dr who said it seemed to be a viral infection & this was his bodies way of fighting it.
Anyone else had this& how long did it take for the rash to go away. So hoping he doesnt spend his first christmas all spotty ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  <a href="http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">[IMG]http://lb2f.lilypie.com/ue02p12.png" / |

DS had a viral rash at about 6ish months, he was covered in it. I think for memory it was about a week before it cleared up.
I hope your little one is feeling better soon -------------

It should be gone well before christmas...the good news is that the rash is usually the end of the sickness so your DS will be healthy at christmas time too! -------------

| My daughter used to get lots of these at the end of an illness. Usually cleared up in a couple of days. Good luck! |

| DS has just had this.... Healthline said it was probably Hand Foot and Mouth. He has just been sleepy, clingy, grizzly and not eating so well. Nurse suggested ice cream to sooth possible sore throat. Hope some improvement for you already. |
