I am bookmarking it!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-experienced-this-what-could-it-be#post-563169 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 09:17:55 +0000 irene 563169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks you guys !!!!!</p> <p>I called this morning and nurse thinks I can chill out because it sounded like the aftermath of the virus and possibly parts from reaction from the shots. She said since he doesn't have a fever it wouldn't be contagious. I asked about if I should change his diet and she said she will give it another week because she believes it is not an allergy and it will clear up on its own. So fingers crossed!!! </p> [attach=79/13/mi5xrf.600x450.rash.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-experienced-this-what-could-it-be#post-562980 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 00:55:05 +0000 Honeybee 562980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: lol, I'm an amateur compared to our resident Beediatrician! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-experienced-this-what-could-it-be#post-562953 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 23:22:43 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 562953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: We're going to start calling you Dr. Honeybee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-experienced-this-what-could-it-be#post-562907 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 22:26:48 +0000 mama_byrd 562907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son often gets rashes over his chest, neck, and arms from viruses and loose stools during and after about a week recovering. All sounds normal to me since we've been through it a few times the past 3 years. It's just the way his body processes viruses. He's really healthy otherwise. It definitely freaked me out the first two times it happened and I kept checking with my pedi, asking questions, sending pics of the rash, etc. now I just take it in stride, lol! </p> <p>Fwiw, dairy does irritate the bowels further if having loose stools or full on diarrhea, so I limit dairy or cut out for at least a week when my son has gotten viruses. Have you heard of the brat diet? It really helps firm things up again and plenty of water if your child is over a year old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-experienced-this-what-could-it-be#post-562809 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 21:15:13 +0000 Sweet T 562809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope your LO starts feeling better soon! I pinned this list of rashes, causes, etc. It might help you until you can get him to the doctor! I agree with @Honeybee that it sounds like roseola but I don't have any personal experience with that.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thesurvivaldoctor.com/2012/06/26/fever-and-rashes-in-children/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thesurvivaldoctor.com/2012/06/26/fever-and-rashes-in-children/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-experienced-this-what-could-it-be#post-562798 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 21:05:45 +0000 Ash 562798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: I thought roseola too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-experienced-this-what-could-it-be#post-562793 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 20:58:27 +0000 Honeybee 562793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think there's a lot of common viruses that could potentially cause those symptoms, but my first though was roseola. When DD got it, she had a high fever for 3-4 days and she was cranky/eating less/had diarrhea during that time. When the fever broke she broke out in a red rash all over her torso, creeping up onto her neck. The rash lasted a couple days, I think.</p> <p>Hopefully your doctor can give you something more definite after you call her tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-experienced-this-what-could-it-be#post-562791 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 20:56:56 +0000 mrbee 562791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: The rash is supposed to be different, plus one site said it presents with fever? Anyway what do I know - I'm just repeating what I found on google! I started typing this, and Google auto-completed the query for me:</p> <p><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=rash+after+chicken+pox+vaccine" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=rash+after+chicken+pox+vaccine</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-experienced-this-what-could-it-be#post-562786 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 20:48:29 +0000 irene 562786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had chicken pox when i was 16, and I know chicken pox doesn't look like that though... besides we did go to the doc last friday and she said it didn't look like chicken pox either.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-experienced-this-what-could-it-be#post-562781 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 20:43:17 +0000 mrbee 562781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yah I think some small percentage of kids get a mild case of chickenpox from the vaccine. Sorry!! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-experienced-this-what-could-it-be#post-562768 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 20:35:22 +0000 knittingmama 562768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got the chicken pox vaccine as an adult (I never had it as a child) and I developed a mild case of chicken pox from it (I was out for like a week, I think). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-experienced-this-what-could-it-be#post-562760 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 20:27:46 +0000 irene 562760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I am repeating myself but this seems to be never over...</p> <p>LO had his 1-year (chicken pox) shots Friday before last. He had a fever almost all week last week, accompanied by a cold with a lot of mucus and coughing. We went to the doc twice and they think probably it is a virus (not antibiotics treatable). </p> <p>I noticed he had a rash developed on his wrist in the beginning of last week but didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was an "after effect" of the chicken pox vaccine.</p> <p>So this week, his fever finally is gone (knock on wood!!) However, he seems to have a lot of poopy diaper episodes. He poops a lot normally (once a day at least) so I am not exactly sure if that's truly abnormal, but his stool is definitely more lose than normal. He pooped 5 times today and one of them was a blow out. It is a bit much even to his standards. On top of that, his rash got worse since last Friday. We actually went to the doc last Friday (as he had a bad night and his fever was still on and off), and doc said it is probably the whole package from the virus. She said it shouldn't be from the chicken pox vaccine because the rash itself looks different.</p> <p>Today the rash got pretty bad. it is now over his body and the original rash on his wrist was very bumpy and red. Some was on his face and neck too. I imagine it is a bit itchy too because LO was scratching a bit when we were taking a bath. Daycare said they noticed it broke out after lunch and after his nap (he went down from 1-3pm), and they thought it was food / milk allergy... but we've been eating the same things and he's been on cow's milk since Jan 14.</p> <p>Have you had such an experience? What could it be? I will call the doctor tomorrow but it just drives me nuts. My husband scared me yesterday what if it were meningitis but he no longer has the fever. He seems pretty normal otherwise ... no fever no crying. Knock on wood! </p>
