Kids have been ill last 2 days full of cold and grumpy. Yesterday x spots appeared itchy raised n red.
Today he's back and other kids the same spots appeared but some have liquid in them.
Does anyone have any advice?

Chickenpox? Only thing I can think of quickly that the first child could have passed on, especially since its doing the rounds. Phone parents of all children with spots ASAP xx
If they are liquidy they sound like chicken pox? I'dask parents to collect and be checked before coming back and then remind them its 5 days after spots appear as incubation period. Or if you are due to go on a school run soon and go near a chemist I'd phone parents and say either they can collect to get checked or I could pop in and get advise from pharmacist and then meet them back at mine after school run if I'm advised its chicken pox?

I've rang them as I think chicken pox and they aren't happy but my hands are tied. My kids have it too so waiting for doctor to ring to confirm.
