Skin rash : (
Hi Ladies,
My 8 month son is a poorly bunny......not long after recovering from viral gastroenteritis from nurseryhas now caught a bad cough/cold. Whilst this seems to be on the mend, he has come out in a horrible red pimply rash on his face and all over his body .
I wonder if it's a food allergy from nursery as the carer mentioned that the rash came up whilst eating cauliflower cheese, however I've given him CC before and this hasnt happened before. I called the doctor and he came out to see LO. He looked at his face but never examined his body as he was fast asleep in his cot and said it looked like a viral rash following his cold (which he knew about as I'd told him on the phone he was full of cold).
Has anyone else experienced this with their LO? If so, how long did it take to clear? It's been 3 days and doesnt seem to be improving. He's off his food, not drinking much fluid - drinking his milk but wont take water when he drinks lots normally and today has napped nearly 4 hours in the day which isnot like him (he usually sleeps 2 hours) and slept almost 12 hours last night. His nappies have been very loose too.
Thank you for your advice....am a little worried xxx

Another possibility is that the rash isn't an allergic reaction or intolerance at all, but actually caused by food being on his face during meals. To that end we are using a special barrier cream which we apply before meals, and then again after we have cleaned him up after the meal.
Will let you know if we come to any conclusions!!
Good luck.
