7 moNths chickeN poX??

That is a bit weird. Doctors could not pinpoint and just called it as viral infection. Well I just hope that she could recover from it. It really does not have the symptoms of a chicken pox. Because if she has then she must have fever by now. I just hope she can really recover from it as most viral infection does get cured over time. As there are no medicines that can really stop viral infections.

sorry i never have experienced it. the infection was because you waited so long so please follow the doctors advice.

It sounds like a case for Aveeno. I went through something similar with my oldest and we put here through all kinds of tests. It turns out that she was developing hive in reaction to damp cold. The rash would develop under her damp bathing suit. That is really a cute picture of your daughter! I hope all turns out well and that she back to the norm soon. Bless her sweet little heart!

Good day.. I've never seen a case of chicken pox in a 7 month old. Is she been exposed to people who are recovering from chicken pox? because it's the primary of getting infected is thru exposure.

I also took my 10 month old daughter to the doctor the other day because I was noticing little bumps appearing all over her face and arms. They are not red per say just little bumpy. I was very worried that it might have been a food allergy or something. The DR. confirmed that it is not a food allergy because they would appear differently and that it look like it was from the heat. When he mentioned that it made sense since when I would take her outside more of them would come out and some would even be red like a rash. If your daughter does not have them all over her body its unlikley that it is chicken pox also if she does not see itchy then that is another reason I wouldn't think so but I suppose your pediatrician knows best. Keep us posted and hope your little one gets better soon!

Are you sure for what they said? Just make sure then ... why you're not goin to another doctor? i think it was measles that your daugther has, make sure it, go to another doctor, don't stickk to one doctor, because sometimes they could be wrong with their examination ... this happen sometimes Hope everything gonna be alright for your babies

hi Adelilzia I can tell you out of my own observation as a patient with shingles, that chickenpox has small blisters, dozens of them with clear fluid in them, and my shingles looked'the same way. the er doctor said they look just like chickenpox except they only go half way around your body,,not cover it like chickenpox does. little red bumps could be some]sortof measles but listen to your doctor as acilovir is for viral infections so the doctor knows what he is talking a bout. I have been on it now for some time. I would trust your doctor and if it does not clear up soon go back to him for further help.If she does break out in clear blisters you will know its chickenpox no other childhood disease looks like that.

WOW it seems a little odd to me. I know my daughter had what they call 5ths disease, but it was a form of the measles and it looked more like a heat rash. I would want to know what kind of viral infection she had if it were me. Good Luck and keep us posted.

Chicken pox looks like blisters, not red bumps. She would have had to have a fever before she got chicken pox. I think from what you have just said that I would go along with the doctor that it is probably just a virus. One of my children would break out in red bumps when he would eat something that didnt' agree with him. Has she eaten anything new lately? Just a thought. I know with a baby it is a worry, but they are resilient and usually pop right back to their normal selves in no time. Do what the docotr suggested and if you don't see a change take her back. Good luck and best wishes!
