Re: OT - my daughter has a rash

[Guest guest]

Any white Koplik's spots in her mouth, Chelly? Is she coughing at all?

Dry, chesty, loose? Is she photophobic at all? I believe measles

classically starts behind the ears and around the hairline, but I may be

wrong. Sadly, I have no personal experience to date - I'm beginning to

wonder if my dd will *ever* get her childhood illnesses...

Hope your little one is better soon. As she has diarrhoea, could it be a

food allergy?

Love, light and peace,

Sue

Hi Sue,

thanks for replying (i'm checking emails like a maniac) she's got no white

spots, I checked that, she has a large white area on her tongue but thats it. I

did read somewhere that the Kopliks' spots MAY develop and they're not a MUST

HAVE for measles.

She had a small runny nose, but it cleared up very quickly, she's looked like

she wanted to throw up once or twice, with a gagging cough, but nothing that

lasted any amount of time, she perhaps just had some mucous or something going

on.

I'm leaning toward measles, but its so uncommon. SHe could have come in contact

with someone who had a shot, as I stand outside her brothers school every day

with all the other moms and little kids waiting for our other children. I've

not seen anyone else with a rash.

It seems so long to be food related, and then starting with a fever ruled that

out fo rme. although her brother and father were both sick on Thursday last

week with either a tummy bug or they ate something bad (not that they ate

anything I didn't)

I noticed the rash first on her forehead around the hair line, and thought at

first it was a heat rash, but it started moving down her face, her eyes and nose

now have the rash, and her eyes look really tired, she has a dark ring around

her eyes..... (looks like bad make-up)

My son is 5 years old, and hasn't had anything that I know of, he got a rash

when he was 2 years old that a few people told me looked like Rubella - but it

didn't last long enough for me to even worry about...............

Chelly,

the reason it *appears* to be so uncommon is because in healthy children it

only lasts for a few days and sometimes they don't even get the rash... Just

depending on their immune system how far this illness progresses...

just my experiance.

Gillian has a lot going for her right now, she's 11 months old, never had any

shots or drugs of any kind and she's breastfed.. (I had measles as a kid, so I'm

passing on everything I can I'm sure)............ so she'd get something very

mildly, in fact this morning it looks like the rash on her face is fading.

If it is scarlet fever, my daughter had it in march, give her sodium

ascorbate every hour 1000 mg. My daughter was done with it in about 2 days. It

did

come back when I stopped the C (she was uncooperative) so we went to the

homeopath for the remedy. It was gone about the next day. Hard to remember

exactly.

She never slowed down..

The tongue sypmtom seems to fit scarlet fever, but the rash supposedly starts on

the body not the face.

Oh well, as I said, the rash has disapeared from her face and neck now, she has

little pale spots on her chest, belly and back and thats all - they're very

pale.
