Oops hi ladies, sorry hadnt realised I had more replies. Thankyou for thinking of my little one. We presume it was the bubble bath as she didnt eat anything unusual, but cant think of what else it could be. Yes, shes actually 70% better thank goodness, its taken a while but shes getting there. Im so glad (well obviously I would be but you know what I mean), she was itching from head to toe and her temperature was sky high.....but tonight shes so much better and has been happy :-)
Thanks for your kind thoughts ladies, sleep well.

I hope that the little one is feeling better today, My grandson (also aged 3) came home from his other grandmother's with a bright red face, and it turned out that his aunt had washed his face and hands with baby soap.

Hope you all don't mind me saying my pennyworth. When one of my grandsons was a toddler,he sometimes had an asthma attack after a sleepover at my house.

After investigation,we found that he was allergic to talc,even though I only used baby brand. He is also affected by "shake and vac".

The point is, that even what we may think of innocent products,can cause allergic reactions.

Hope you daughter is better soon, love Nina from sunny Sheffield

years ago i nearly died through taking penicillin
my head swelled so much my face cracked in several places
and my tongue blocked my air ways
but i was saved seconds from a tracheotomy
by massive injections of adrenaline
i was on steroids for 7 and a half months
but this was an extreme case

i do hope the little one gets well soon

My daughter once had a reaction to my SIL's dog and the Doc prescribed Piriton and it took a while to kick in, over night if I remember rightly, and we gave her Calpol as well, mainly to settle and calm her off to sleep

I'm sure she will be feeling a lot better in the morning

Romany

I hope she is feeling better and less itchy.


And with regard to asking for help on here even though we know what to do it is often reasuring being told what others would do amd last time i looked it wasnt a crime to be a worried mum reaching out for reasurrance even if they had just been to Dr.

Aww bless her, seems like the Piriton the doctor prescribed is doing the trick. I hope the itching has eased for her. It should start fading by morning.

Lordy, if I'd known a simple post would get heated I wouldnt have asked. It seems everything has to turn into an argument on here nowdays. Thankyou ladies for your advice, so many replies I wont name you all individually but I do appreciate it! Theresa, many thanks. She's finally fallen asleep, think her daddy coming home has calmed her down a bit, the rash and spots are as bad as ever but hopefully tomorrow may ease things up a bit. Only asked peoples advice as my 3 kids are usually so healthy they never set foot in a doctors let alone the hospital, so I feel a bit thrown in at the deep end....they dont even get flu! Just wondered if there was anything I was missing. But thanks ladies xxxxxxx

Is there anything she might have eaten that could have caused the rash? Strawberries?

I feel for you, Romany, it's very distressing watchng a small child suffering, and being unable to do anything instantly to relieve them.

My youngest was allergic to a lot of things, including bubble bath, as is my grand daughter. The only one I could ever use was/is 'Matey'

My youngest also loved satsuma's, but if she ate more than 3 in one session (and she was quite capable of eating a lot more!), she would turn orange and get blisters on her chest! She soon learned!

Hope your grand daughter feels better soon.

Hello Romany,

It must be hard watching your little girl feel so poorly. Wishing her a speedy recovery and hope you manage to get some sleep tonight.

Take care (((hugs)))

AW now, please stop... we had a worried mum, who took her littlie to the doctor, got prescribed stuff... and then asked other people how long before her little one would feel better, and until the medicine began to take effect was there anything else at all she could do to ease it, as like most mums, she couldn't bear to see her baby hurting... even though she knew it would ease.... eventually, like, when would *eventually* be?

I would have been in exactly the same state as Romany if it had been my little granddaughter who was staying last week........ and I know that my sons ex still phones me to get back up of what the doctor has said!!

So I do hope little one is beginning to feel better now,Romany, and please feel free to ask questions such as that if you feel unsure in the future xxxx

Love and gentle (((((hugs))))))

Daff xxxx

So kay what part was i supposed to re read because i never said she should be taking the Calpol & piriton
So say RS took that advice ..which then come back to my point about asking advice on here

Teresa..yes i said that & i didn't see RS say it was the doctor
