Rash

[brownhairedmom]

I know there's a children's health section but this gets more traffic.

Renah woke up this morning with a rash under her neck. I didn't think much of it, I thought maybe she just had some milk under there or something and it got irritated. Since then its spread to a spot on her cheek and all over one hand and arm.

She had her needles on Thursday, could this be a side effect? It doesn't say anything about a rash as a side effect on the sheets the nurse gave me. I don't know if I should just be waiting it out or if I should be taking her into outpatients? She seems fine other than that. She had some weird diapers the day she had the needles but they've been fine since, and she had a low grade fever but that's gone too

If you're worried take her to the Dr or hospital... just to be on the safe side.

I'd think though that if she seemed absolutely fine in every other respect (no temp, happy and content, eating well etc) then it's probably nothing to worry about.

Never heard of it being a side effect of shots, but you never know.

If she seems fine in every other regard I'd probably leave it for a few days and see if it gets better on its own

it could be from the jabs, if she's fine otherwise i'd keep an eye on it and see how it goes.

do you guys have a number like our nhs direct that you can call for medical advice. might be worth giving them a buzz xx
