worried about this rash
in Baby
Hi ladies,
Just after some advice or reasurance really. Yesterday Holly was unusually grizzly. She wasnt hungry, wouldnt drink anything and was just miserable which isnt like her. I changed her nappy at 11am and she had a rash over her stomach, back and bum area. Its like tiny pin pricks. Like heat rash really but its not heat rash im sure. I took her to the gp who said basically she didnt know what it was, well she said "I think its a rash linked to a little virus she may have". Then she said it could bea urine infection so could i collect a sample from holly (how on earth am i supposed to do that?!) bought a potty which holly proudly did a poo on but no urine at all so far on it! Although much to daddys horror as soon as i took the potty to get rid of the poo she wee'ed on the carpet! Anyway, i digress!
Today Holly seems more grizzly, less interested in food, wouldnt play with her friend ect. And her rash seems to have now moved to her legs aswell.
Im worried about taking her back to the drs as its not much diffent to yesterday. But something doesnt feel right. Have any of you ladies had any experience with baby rashes?
Thanks in advance, oh Holly is 10 months by the way. x

I may take her to out of hours when hubby gets home if shes still grotty. Shes managing a little nap at the mo.
Thanks again. x
LynneMJ: Your good! It is indeed Hand, foot and mouth. Feel so much better now we have seen someone who appeared to know what she was doing! Cant recomend the walk in centre enough. And she gave us the out of hours drs no ect. Holly is feeling really grotty but is managing to sleep on and off this evening.
Thanks again for your help. x
