My lo Matthew just recovering from a bout of bronchilitus and slapped cheek disease (pavo-virus) and doing well but has developed a bit of a rash down one side of his face and fore head kind of red and lumpy to touch not like the pavo-rash at all, had a quick look on google (I know majot wrist slap) and hope to god its not shingles.

Matthew was born 7 weeks prem and seems to catch every cold and virus out there so was doubly floored (even 3 hour hosp stay last week) so his immune system pretty week. Yest for a wee while and today fist he's been out the house since last wed and now this!

If rash gets any angrier in morn think ill call NHS24 see if he can get seen even for peace of mind, sound asleep now wee lamb will try upload a pic in the morn.

Anyone have experience of shingles in a tot? xx
