Chickenpox

Chickenpox is a very common childhood illness, caused by a virus called varicella. It starts with red bumps that become small, yellowish blisters affecting the whole body – including the mouth and genitals (which can be very painful). They then open before scabbing over. These are very itchy and can make your child miserable. They may have a temperature, a cough and a runny nose. Children are able to pass the virus to others from the day before the rash appears until the last spot has scabbed over.

Sore throat

Advice for parents/carers: Sore throats are extremely common, and are often associated with a high temperature. Most sore throats are caused by viral infections – if this is the case, your child is likely to also have a runny nose, cough or earache If a number of people are unwell in the same household, this also suggests a viral infection (because viral infections are easily spread) Viral infections tend to get better on their own and do not need treatment with antibiotics.

My baby has a rash

Advice for parents/carers: Rashes are common in newborns and babies. Most rashes are harmless and go away on their own. You may notice that your baby’s skin is dry or peeling in the first 1-2 weeks of life and this is normal. A common rash seen in babies in the first 3-4 days of life is erythema toxicum. Babies with this type of rash are well in themselves. They have a red blotchy rash that can come and go and often appears on the face, body, upper arms and thighs. This rash does not require any treatment and will go away on its own.
