Does anyone have any experience of this???
My lo, 14 months old, has been sent home from nursery because they are worried he could have this. He has had a cough/cold for a few days along with conjunctivitis. He has also had a very high temperature at times (yesterday was 40.3). Thismorning he woke with small red areas on his tongue.
I am giving regular Calpol and Nurofen and have a doctors appointment today.
Just needing a bit of a moan really, as the poor little fella seems to always be ill. Since about September he has had one thing after another - coughs, colds, chest infections, sickness bugs, you name it !! Consequently September was the last time I got a decent nights sleep, so I am starting to feel a bit run down myself.
Has anyone else got or had sickly lo's? Do they all go through it? Is this normal? If so when will it end?
Sorry for the moan, but feeling a bit sorry for myself, I really hate him being ill and feeling so useless. I've been in tears so many times this week, seeing him so poorly and not being able to help really upsets me.

Im not 100% but I think they have it 1 week before the symptoms come out so if hes been near any other kids or pg ladies let them know coz I dont know if its something to be worried about for unborn babies.
