    Could be a number of things that kids pick up but I would be checking out any sort of rash especially if it is spreading quickly. Could even be a bite or something considering it is accompanied by vomiting and pooing?

    Been awhile since I rang them so I hope they still exist - Nurse On Call 1300 60 60 24

    It's a free service, they are so helpful with any information & will advice you on what to do

    I last rang them about a year ago for my then baby daughter (they are very patient & helped me heaps) !!

    Hi kit3n could be just Hives,the onset is very quick and is itchy,If it is that ask your chemist for Phernergan medicine,and check on dosage as it does have a slight sedative effect for a night time dose so they can get some sleep,hope this helps.Hives can be brought on from many things too,foods,drinks,medicines,even carpets,grass,pets,you never really know when a breakout will occur and it`s NOT contagious.Hope dd is feeling better very soon.
