My daughter has this at the moment. The rash is covering a lot of her face now, she has antibiotics, but they sem to have had little effect. I have to drag her back to the drs tomorrow as the school is adamant she has a sick note - thats why so many people send their kids to school ill as they seem to be on your back after a couple of days. I know that was a bit ot but its frustrating so i need to vent lol.
@cinque - i am very glad they dont routinely do swab tests here. I had my first one last year when i had glandular fever and it took 3 attempts before he realised he wasnt getting it from me!
