Thanks everyone for all the replies, I really appreciate it.

Schmickers I do think you could be right, and it's a little reassuring to hear it's similar to your reaction to OLE. I was thinking last night that maybe it's coincidence, react to the OLE and having a viral rash at the same time, I mean she is fighting a bug it seems.

Another thing I was thinking is that with Baby Led Solids they reckon children will show an aversion to things they are sensitive to. She took the cod liver oil no prob (yuk) but both times half spat some of the olive leaf extract (a specific kids one) and she has never done that with anything from a syringe. Maybe she knew? I'm not game enough to try it again when things calm down that's for sure.

Krysalyss that sounds scary with your son, glandular fever was hard on me as a young adult, hope he's going okay. The very first time DD had AB it was amoxycillin and she reacted with quite runny nappies imediately, so was taken off it within 24 hrs. That was months ago and now she has a different type of AB that doesn't seem to react with her. She has had this type twice before the last batch with seemingly no reaction, but it's helpful to hear what you've been through in case things haven't settled down soon.

The good news is the red rash is quite a bit lighter today, and we only had a few splotches appear over breakfast. We're just lucky that in general she's still been a pretty happy cruisy little one and all these spots aren't bugging her too much. Thanks again
