Rash

[Pandora]

Milo is teething (2yo molars) and has been grizzly and unhappy, not sleeping at night, teething poos etc for a few weeks now. He's also had ear infections.

Over the weekend he had a few days of temperatures, not really high, but high 38s.

Then on Monday mum rings me at work and says he is covered in a red bumpy rash and I should come home.
Rash is not bumpy (but mum says it was earlier) all over his back from neck to bum, on the back of this thighs.

Doctor says its "very unremarkable" and not a problem, but that he thinks he's getting over an ear infection.

So anyway that night was fine, no temp, and he slept trhough the night (yay).

Yesterday the rash on his back has faded but there are bumps and blothes all over his face, head, forehead etc, and they were still there this morning.

Back to the doctors - its probably viral - and his ear infectio is now nasty, so was probably starting not finishing, and may explain why he wouldn't sleep longer than 20mins at a time last night.

Any ideas? They had nothing to offer to offer other than 'it might be viral'.

When mum first rang me I thought it might be Roseola, but then wouldn't his temp have been a lot higher than high 38s?

aw, for any future grandmas or babysitters -- if you ring the childs parents to report a rash, try not to open with 'do you know anyone who's had measles?' as it scares the crap out of them.
