Hi

We are pretty convinced our LO has chicken pox. It's been going round her nursery and the baby room (she's 16 months old) and on Tuesday came home with a fever, no appetite and generally being a bit listless). Friday - so two days later - she woke up with the rash all over her tummy, chest and back and this developed over the day so we awaiting the blisters to arrive. So far so text book.

then yesterday the rash didn't turn to blisters and started to fade during the day and today she has woken up virtually rash free. I can't see how it can be anything else, but is it chicken pox? can you have a mild dose without any blisters?

what do you think?

:\?

I would say it sounds more like a viral rash than chicken pox. My little girl has been like you described your LO on a couple of occassions and when I've taken her to the doctors they've said its a virus.

If you're worried maybe take her to the doctors to confirm/rule out chicken pox.

doesnt sound like chicken pox ti me more like a viral rash. phoebe had chicken pix mild when she was about 2. She had a bit of a temp but wasnt really ill and about 10 spots, but they did look like propper chicken pox spots. xx
