Harrison has a runny nose and cough since yesterday and a slight temp tonight. When bathing him noticed 3 small red spots on his tummy, do think it could c pox? Anyone elses lo had these symptoms. We were on hols 10 days ago where he could of caught it. Many thanks x

Chicken Pox spots usually start on the tummy so they deffo sound like they are in the right place. I would keep him wrapped up warm and see if anymore develop xx

Thanks chick. He's asleep now so will see how he is in morning. Given him some calpol so hopefully that will make him more comfortable. X

Could be but could be any number of things. Has he been in contactwith anyone likely. Guess you will know in mrning hon

Don't know anyone who has had it but we were at centre parcs around loads of kids about 10-14 days ago which is the incubation period x

evan has had runny nose cough/croup etc for over a week now and he had a few spots on his tummy only 2 or 3 before the runny nose started but they have jst disappeared so obv werent anything,
so it may be nothing

Wil was just a little bit off before his chicken pox spots came out.

The spots usually come out over a few days for chicken pox so check him over in the morning

Bethany was pretty lucky and didn't have any other symptoms before her spots came out, but she just started with a spot on the tum and one of the cheek (face not bum!!) and the next day she had lots more so you should know for definite tomorrow, It took about 3 days for all the spots to come out. Hope he is ok xx

Thanks girls will update in morning x

Havel had a look over him this morning and the 3 spots on his tummy are very noticeable and if I run my finger over them they feel hard like have a tiny scab on and one could be a tiny blister but I'm not sure. Can't really see anything apart very very faint spots on his forehead but that could be nothing. I would of though if it was chicken pox he would of ha loads more this morning? He's off his food as well wouldn't eat his porridge and is still coughing, runny nose etc which apparently is how c pox can start, so I still don't know yet x

Sam had one spot on his tail that got bigger and bigger for 3 days before he got any more spots. Then it took 7 days for them all to come out (although he had them in ridiculous proportions)
