Yeah see if thereās anything else they can give you to help. Especially since rashes can itch and be painful.
Yeah heās started itching himself now,heās on his 4th dose of antibiotics so I didnāt know if theyād have kicked in, but yeah Iāll ask because itās look more red rather than anything xx

Does he have a fever? And has it been more than 48hrs since he started the antibiotics?
No he doesnāt have a fever, and he only had his first two doses yesterday, so yesterday was his first full day xx

Yeah I would talk to them again especially since he started scratching it can definitely make things worse

Lmk how it goes! I know baby boy is struggling rn

How old is he if you donāt mind me asking x
Heās 18 months. We took him a&e soon as he had the rash x
