Weird rash??

[Michelle71]

Not a usual part of bronchiolitis. Is he on any antibiotics?? If he isn't concerned by it it is probably nothing to worry about but get it checked - if you can time it for when you go to the doctors which is usually the problem

Thanks Michelle. No he's not on any antibiotics - they said since its a viral thing he has - no antibiotics needed. So both kids are sorta suffering and we are living on limited sleep at the moment!!

Was hoping you would say no because it is viral and antibiotics aren't needed - but many GP's still give them It can be a viral rash which is common in the little people and usually is nothing to worry about. For the bronchiolitis - a humidifier can help with the coughing. Otherwise there isn't much you can do unfortunately

Yeah we have a vaporiser thingy but we only have one of them - and its in DD's room cos her case of it is MUCH worse than his (plus since she is so young, we are doing our best to try to keep her from going to hospital!!)

Ahhh well.. best prepare for another sleepless night!

DS also breaks out in rashes whenever he gets a virus. Just thought I'd let you know you aren't alone in that.

I hope tonight isn't so bad for your DS, it's so hard when they are sick.

Thanks Spring - thats reassuring to know.

I hope its not going to be toooo bad - but with both of them hacking out their lungs.. not holding my breath for a sleep through!!

DD also has a similar rash at the moment, and is also suffering from a virus. The GP saw the rash yesterday and said it was related, he said if all of the virus symptoms havent cleared in 5 days to bring her back.
