She's nearly 6yo and started with general viral symptoms on Friday morning. She has a runny nose, ear pain, temperature, no appetite, general aches and pains.
Last night she started developing a rash on her arms, legs, stomach and back. Today it's nearly everywhere except on her face or in her mouth. It's mainly a pin prick type rash on her torso but on her extremities the spots are slightly more raised, more in clusters and have a little more colour to them. She says they are a bit itchy but not noticeably so, just the odd patch is a bit itchy here and there.
She's had chicken pox and it's nothing like it. HFM she had a couple of months ago and again, nowt like it. Measles she's vaccinated against and she has no spots in her mouth or on her face. None of google's other suggestions look likely.
Her brother has a cold and temperature too and both DH and I have felt lousy for a few days.
Could it just be a non-specific viral rash? She isn't prone to them, whereas her brother is. It's not like her to be spotty without good reason.
Doc can't see us until this evening and I have real anxiety where the dc and illness are concerned.
Best guesses?

DD has been unwell for days and suddenly has an almost all over rash. Any guesses?
