😭Chicken pox is doing the rounds again at the moment. Here’s how to spot it and the do’s and don’ts when it comes to treating it.

😔An itchy, spotty rash is the main symptom of chickenpox. It can be anywhere on the body.

👍Chickenpox happens in 3 stages. But new spots can appear while others are becoming blisters or forming a scab.

💙Stage 1: small spots appear

The spots can:
be anywhere on the body, including inside the mouth and around the ge****ls, which can be painful
spread or stay in a small area
be red, pink, darker or the same colour as surrounding skin, depending on your skin tone
be harder to see on brown and black skin

💙Stage 2: the spots become blisters

The spots fill with fluid and become blisters. The blisters are very itchy and may burst.

💙Stage 3: the blisters become scabs

The spots form a scab. Some scabs are flaky while others leak fluid.
Before or after the rash appears, you might also get:
a high temperature
aches and pains, and generally feeling unwell
loss of appetite

➡Swipe for photos and the do’s and don’ts of treating a child with chickenpox.

🙏SAVE this post for later in case you need to refer back to it.

👶Expecting a little springtime arrival?

🧘‍♂️March babies are linked to the beautiful aquamarine, a gemstone said to represent calm, clarity and courage. A peaceful little powerhouse in the making.

🌼Their birth flower is the daffodil, symbolising new beginnings, hope and happiness. Perfect for babies arriving as the days get brighter.

♓♈Depending on when they arrive, they’ll be either a dreamy Pisces, known for their gentle, compassionate nature, or a bold and energetic Aries, full of confidence and spark.

➡Tag someone who’s counting down to their March bundle of joy.

🆕This is brand new guidance in the UK so please share this post with your parent friends to update them.

⚪If you ever suspect a child has swallowed a button battery (those small round coin-sized batteries found in toys, remotes or watches), it’s important to act IMMEDIATELY.

➡These batteries can start reacting with body fluids and damage tissue within hours, and it should always be treated as a medical emergency.

💙Always call 999 or get straight to A&E if you even suspect a child may have ingested one.
💙While you’re on the way to hospital the guidance now is that if the child is over 12 months old, giving them 2 teaspoons of honey every 10 minutes (up to about 6 doses) may help slow the chemical reaction and protect the throat and oesophagus until medical care can be given.
💙This is only recommended if it’s immediately available and shouldn’t delay getting emergency help.

Important:
💙Do NOT give honey to children under 1 year old due to the risk of infant botulism.
💙Honey is a temporary measure only – it does not replace urgent medical assessment and treatment.
