    phernergan might help to...its an anti hystermine that doctors say you can use for allergy type sympthoms. Ask your chemist and they can help by tellign you what the right dosage to give to her.....

    Can I ask how long it take to come out in spots??? Mateauz has been extremely cranky, he's hot and sweety and looks like he has a few dots on him......(he played with Kellies DD on sunday)

    oh no Maz, I hope he doesnt have it too!
    Doc told me kids usually get a bit of a temp, but Tahlia didnt. She had been a little bit cranky, but I can also see a molar coming through. Her first spot appeared on Tuesday (on her forehead) which I thought was a pimple, and then Wednesday night she had them all on her belly, chest, back and in her hair. I hope Mateauz doesn't have it, I will feel so horrible!

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions, I will be taking a trip to the chemist when DH gets home so that I can leave her home with him

    Unfortunatly you probably won't be able to get it. We tried when DD was 12 months and it is prescription only now. Our Dr wouldn't write a script cause there is recommendations now that it shouldn't be used for children under 2..

    Fingers crossed for you Maz. When DD came out with them, some of her friends showed some signs, but didn't get it...

    my two bubs had it a couple of months ago, we used pinetarsol, and a chicken pox ointment called 'sol...', ****, i can't remember. anyway, it was really good, the kids have no scars and they didn't go pussy and revolting. maybe solosite??? sorry, sick and tired, so brain isn't working too well...

    Maz - was just speaking to my sister who is a nurse and she said that hopefully Mateauz doesnt have it, cause usually chicken pox incubates for a minimum of 10 days before spots appear... so fingers crossed he's spots are just heat rash or something???
