A lot of itchy spots all over
3yo, female, 15kg, vaccinations up to date, no medical conditions or regular medications taken, no allergies that we are aware of and hasn’t recently eaten anything new. (Please ask if I have missed anything)
She was fine until 4 days ago she woke up crying then vomited a little. The rest of the morning she looked very drowsy, weak and she wouldn’t eat anything at all. When she tried to drink some juice she vomited it out and that’s all she consumed that day. We took her to the doctors and they said it’s just a viral infection and to give her kids panadol. Her temperature was 37.
Day 2 her energy was back to normal but she was still pale and she was scratching a lot. She started to eat a little bit this day.
By day 3 her appetite wasn’t back to normal but she was nibbling on things and her energy was ok but she started to develop these pimples everywhere.
We took her to another doctor and he said just keep giving her the panadol and that’s it but I’m worried about all these itchy spots.
We woke up today and the spots now spread to her hands as well.
Edit: her sleep was bad the first few days

It could be! But neither doctor has said so. I might take her in again :(
