You may have chicken pox. Symptoms of chicken pox include that:
* children sometimes have a prodrome of fever, malaise, headache, lack of appetite, and mild abdominal pain for 1 to 2 days
* the rash typically appears first on a child's trunk, scalp, and face and consists of small, very itchy, flat red spots, which then turn into raised fluid filled vesicles, often described as looking like a 'dewdrop' that become umbilicated and cloudy and eventually crust over
* the fever only lasts about 2 to 4 days
* new 'crops' of the rash on the child's trunk and then arms and legs continue for about 4 days
* all of the lesions are crusted over about 6 to 7 days after the illness began
* the crusts then fall off in another 7 days, although it sometimes takes up to 20 days, usually without scarring.

Talk to your parents and let them know. I hope it isn't chicken pox to make a mess of your vacation. Best of luck.

i might surely propose which you call your wellness care provider. you do not prefer to be around young babies the two way. The flu is extremely risky for youthful babies. you will see small purple spots on your physique and face in case you have the hen pox. sounds like a bad chilly or flu. nevertheless, call your wellness care provider!
