Child Had Runny Ear. Few Spots On Body Like Blisters. Had Chicken Pox Earlier. Worried?
Hi, my daughter is 4yr and on thursday she had a runny ear but it was not hurting her. i noticed that she had got 3 spots on her forehead and her right arm but no where else. she did not have a temperature nor was she unwell. the spots have gone now but i have just gone to shower her and there are 6 more spots on her belly, they are raised like little blisters but she has already had chicken pox . should i be worried?

Hi,
Thank you for your query,
The runny ear is due to ear infection because of middle or outer ear infection and may need antibiotic treatment.
If your child had chickenpox in the past, this present skin lesions could not be chickenpox, as there will will be no recurrence in chickenpox.
It may be a allergic papular rash or due to a virus.
Nothing to worry, consult your Pediatrician for the examination of the ears and skin lesions and thier proper management.
Hope I have answered your query.
