Scarlet Fever.:irked:
Yes, you read correctly, Scarlet Fever. After going to the Lister Hospital out of hours clinic yesterday we got a diagnosis for him. The doctor hadn't seen a case since he trained 6 yrs ago.
The poor little love had a hellish sore throat and looks like a mottled beetroot. The sunburn type rash is more prominent in the folds of his skin, inner elbows, groin, back of knees etc, but his back, chest and face looks just like a bad case of Brits abroad sunburn.
We're always telling him off for licking windows, railings etc. The grebby little toad must have picked it up this way.:o
Anyway 1-2 weeks off school and horrible smelling pink antibiotics, (the colour & smell is not going down well at all.) On the bright side he's fairly quiet and needs lots of cuddles.:green::hug::hug:
