Chickenpox

[Easties]

Can kids get them more than once ?

[curlywurly]

:yes:

[Easties]

Oh dear lol

[curlywurly]

Officially no, but I've known several children and adults to get it more than once....

[Easties]

Well Alex has been really wingy and full of a cold just got him back from my brothers and he has 2 little blisters so im wondering

DP thinks its a viral thing but im not so sure

[Daffs]

Apparently so...like Vicky said ^^^

[rach04]

i had it twice once really bad and the second time it was only 20 or so spots

[ruthie]

Yes mine had it twice when small.

[duck_egg]

I had it twice as a child but mine have never had it *touch wood*

[marlis511]

ive had it twice lol

[Easties]

He has had a bath and there are no more as of yet

The thing is there is a child with lukemia at their school so i dont know what to do

It could be viral but i dont want to risk him passing anything on to this child (not sure what year they are in)

What would you do ?

Also Jack has come out in what is defo a viral rash

[smirnoff]

id keep them home hun... they wont be comfortable in school anyway..

[Easties]

Thats what i was thinking
we are always getting letters home about certain things to keep them home for because of this child so i would hate for them to pass anything on

My Jack has just had it again.
We were told at first it was Viral infection but then when chickenpox was confirmed we were told that in prem babies its quite common for them to get it twice.
Jack started with it on Xmas day, he had a rash all over chest & back, next day he had 4 blisters on his face , one on ear, 3 on scalp & 1 on his bum.

Hope your sons are ok xxxxx

The blisters have dropped off now & just left a faint mark where spots were, so he can go back to school tomorrow.

Im also very worried as they stayed at my brothers last night and he has a 17 week old baby
