Need help now

[mrscricket]

Jordie - I might not be much help but my DS gets a really rashy face, chin and inside his ear when he is teething.. He also refuses to eat. I think he must dribble in his sleep and it causes a rash. I really am not sure of what it could be if its not that - why don't you give the Maternal Child Health line a call to see if they have any suggestions? Good luck x

could it be thrush?

Look I would personally get it checked no matter what. Angry acute rashes need to be checked out as they can be from other causes. I've taken Jovie in for rashes before that were different to her ezcema break outs she used to get. She also had thrush and it needed to be treated, so going to a GP is a safe bet.

Hi Jordie,

I was going to suggest teething as well. DD tries to scratch where the pain is, but obviously as the pain is inside, the cheek is the closest she can get..

She is totally all over the place with food, and has the rosiest cheeks. If you are pretty confident that is isn't teething, I would def get it checked.

Not sure about teething or thrush because it seemed to come up quite quickly after "eating" (she didn't really eat!). She's in bed now so we're just monitoring her and seeing if it gets worse or better.

I know about the honey - not sure if DH did but she really didn't eat any. OUr problem is that were trying to get her interested in solids by doing tastes and she grabbed for DH porridge so he though he would give her a taste.

We have booked in to doctors this arvo but it seems to have settled down slightly. She's still scratching her neck thouhg - poor thing.

Thanks!
