    Can you call Nurse on call for some help/suggestions? Or your 24 hr maternal heath nurse?

    I wouldn't use bepanthen it could make it worse. Try nurse on call. If its a viral illness causing the rash she may have a sore throat or other pain related to the illness making her upset too, have you considered baby panadol or nurofen?

    Mummabee, do you have a chemist near you that would be open late? Zyrtec and claratyne are both over the counter meds so if you can find a chemist, you could get something for her. If you can't get to a chemist and they are really bothering her mix some bicarb soda and cold water to make a thick paste and them put it on the hives. Or if there are too many, give her a bath with bicarb added to it. Don't use the bepanthen or you will get it everywhere. I know it will be tempting to give it to her, but if you read on the bottle, it does say not to give it to children under 2 and most pharmacists will be very wary of giving it to older children and adults as well.
