If you ring 111 they will get you an appointment. And how old is he?x

21 months please

111 for any hospital ?? Cos I live in Coventry so I dunno

Looks like it could be hand, foot and mouth. Which isn’t serious, does he have any sores on his hand or feet. Or around his privates?

Yes just give them a call as you can ring them if you’re in the UK. Explain your sons symptoms to them and they will give you help you need for him x

Could be hand foot and mouth. Not serious and treated at home. If you're worried though call 111 for the non-emergency line.

Looks like hand foot and mouth x

@Jayne no he doesn’t

It’s only around his mouth and under his nose

Has it blistered at all?

@Patience yeah looks like this

It may be staph! I have staph (impetigo) and it can spread around easily if you touch it/rub it! I have it in my nose since I was a child (it comes back everytime I’m sick) from using those nose sprays back to back from allergies! 😭 definitely take to the doctor!

@Patience this is the first time he’s having something like this everytime he’s got a cold tho

It can still be staph it’s best to go to the doctor and see what he has though. They can give him ointment if it is staph to help heal it faster and for when it comes back if its staph!

Sure I’ll do that
