went to pick Seren up from nursery yesterday, only to find her flat out (Seren never sleeps at nursery). Her keyworker told me that she had bee off colour all day, and I had read earlier that day that they had had a case of scarlet fever at the nursery.
Got her home,she was really hot and not herself. I have been giving her calpol and plenty of fluids. Last night she woke loads, each time burning up. She had a rash on her chest, her face was red and flushed and she was dribbling a fair bit. However this morning she has woke up fine,no rash nothing. She is a bit mardy but TBH this can be normal behaviour for Seren.
I just wondered if anyone has had experience of scarlet fever and is it possible that she had it but its gone fast? I have phoned NHS direct but they are all busy and its urgent calls only. will try them later but just thought i'd ask in the meantime
it was horrible, this is the first time she has been quite poorly and i felt so helpless.
