Mothers have warned fathers of a Kawasaki-like inflammatory disease that affects children and is believed to be related to the coronavirus.
Doctors were alerted to a sharp rise in the number of babies admitted to intensive care across the UK with the mysterious illness on Tuesday.
Becky White of Batley, West Yorkshire, said her 18-month-old son Freddie suffered from a six-week illness that she believes is Kawasaki disease and she fears her symptoms will return.
Meanwhile, Suzanne Mawdsley of Radfcliffe, Greater Manchester, said two of her children suffered from the mysterious disease but showed different symptoms.
Suzanne Mawdsley of Radfcliffe, Greater Manchester warned parents of the mysterious ‘inflammatory disease’ believed to be related to the coronavirus after her 10-year-old daughter Quin developed a rash that was initially thought to be chickenpox.
Her 19-year-old son is also believed to have had the condition, but suffered from different symptoms, with a large red mark on his tongue (left)
Suzanne says that “with my children their symptoms have been very different, so people should know that it can show itself in different ways”
Freddie White started having red eye pain and a high temperature six weeks ago when the skin on his finger started to peel.
Becky called the GP and told her that the symptoms seemed viral and that Freddie’s symptoms began to worsen.
The mother of three said that the peeling of her fingers and toes began to spread down her arms and legs and Freddie developed a red rash on his stomach and face.
In a video appointment with a doctor, they told him that Freddie had scalded skin syndrome and that he was prescribed antibiotics, and that the symptoms would go away in days.
However, they did not and Becky brought Freddie to the hospital for review and Freddie received fluids and Calpol along with antibiotics.
Becky said the antibiotics seemed to work somehow, but when she completed the course of the antibiotics, the rash worsened again and covered her entire body.
He returned to A&E and Freddie was diagnosed with strep, which is similar to scarlet fever with symptoms of strawberry tongue, swollen glands, a rash, and scaling of the hands and feet.
Freddie was prescribed a different course of antibiotics for ten days and is now symptom free after one day.
However, after reading about Kawasaki disease and a mysterious inflammatory condition that has been killing children across the country, Becky is concerned that Freddie’s symptoms may have been a sign of something worse.
Becky told Metro.co.uk: ‘During this time on antibiotics we have had sleepless nights and a very distressed baby.
‘Although Freddie has now recovered, he has not yet fully recovered from the eruption.
“He has stopped taking antibiotics for a day and my concerns after seeing the news about Kawasaki is that his symptoms will return.”
Suzanne Mawdsley warned parents that the symptoms of the disease may vary after two of their children suffered from it in different ways.
Her 19-year-old son Kane suffered a red mark on his tongue after experiencing a sore throat and temperature.
However, her ten-year-old daughter Quin developed an unpleasant measles-like face and neck rash.
While Kane recovered after taking acetaminophen and drinking salt water, Quin’s condition deteriorated after being initially diagnosed as chickenpox.
She told MEN: ‘It was only on Monday that I saw the news about these eruptions and thought it looked like Quin’s. When I called 111 they told me it was probably Kawasaki.
‘If you have any doubts, it is better to make sure and not be afraid to ask questions.
“With my children, their symptoms have also been very different, so people should be aware that it can show itself in different ways.”
Quin recovered after he was prescribed the antihistamine chlorpheniramine to relieve the itch and his mother was told to seek further help if her condition worsened.
Earlier this week, health chiefs insisted that they “were unaware” of any deaths in British children from a serious “inflammatory syndrome” believed to be related to the coronavirus.
Up to 20 children were reported to have fallen critically ill on Tuesday and Health Secretary Matt Hancock admitted that “some” young people had mysteriously died without underlying conditions.
Hancock said he was “very concerned” about the mysterious syndrome that experts believe is caused by coronavirus infection.
A Lancashire mother, who does not wish to be named, shared shocking images of her two-year-old daughter with purple rashes with spots all over her body.
Chloe Knight, 22, revealed that her two-year-old son Freddie Merrylees (pictured) became ill just before closing and was ‘like a zombie’ due to Kawasaki’s illness. The young man had a rash on his body, high temperature, red eyes and was struggling to eat and drink.
Melanie Cook, 38, of Gypsyville, Hull, believes her one-year-old son George suffered from the mysterious illness in mid-March after suffering from red and swollen eyes (shown), “violent vomiting” and fatigue.
The disease appears to be similar to Kawasaki disease, which causes inflammation of the blood vessels and toxic shock syndrome, an overreaction of the immune system that causes the body to attack its own organs.
This has led some parents to link Kawasaki disease and the mysterious inflammatory condition.
Gemma Brown, of Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire, told MailOnline that her two-year-old son, Bertie, was admitted to the hospital last month on his second birthday when his temperature rose to over 40 ° C (104 ° F) and her blotchy rash began to turn black.

Gemma Brown, 38, told MailOnline that her son, Bertie, was admitted to Worcestershire Royal Hospital last month on his second birthday, when his temperature rose to more than 40 ° C (104 ° F) and his rash with spots it began to turn black.
Doctors were initially baffled, but a senior consultant eventually diagnosed the boy with the rare Kawasaki disease, a form of toxic shock syndrome that causes the body’s immune system to attack its own organs.

Bertie Brown was admitted to Worcestershire Royal Hospital last month on his second birthday after developing a fever and a rash all over his body.
Her temperature rose to more than 40 ° C (104 ° F) and the blotchy rash spread across her body and began to turn black. Doctors were initially baffled, but a senior consultant eventually diagnosed the boy with the rare Kawasaki disease.
“I don’t know how the government is going to show that there is a link if they are not evaluating patients,” said the mother of two at Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire.
Asked I asked to be examined, as I had a feeling there was a connection between Covid and Kawasaki.
‘Both attack his immune system and the whole family had had bad Covid symptoms before Bertie got sick.
“I was convinced there was a link and I was asking for a test, but they told me there was no need to test those under five.”
The boy received an immunoglobin transfusion and was in the hospital for five days. “It was horrible to see him like this,” said Mrs. Brown.
Her mother Gemma (pictured with Bertie and her older brother George, 14) believes her symptoms were a complication of the coronavirus. But Bertie (right) didn’t have a COVID-19 test, leaving doctors and her family in the dark about a possible link.
‘He did not have any respiratory problems, but he was admitted on his own and was easily the poorest child in the hospital.
Ras His rash had started to itch, but quickly put him in agony. His temperature was dangerously high and he was monitored around the clock. “
Bertie, who was born prematurely weighing just 1.5 lbs., Has always had a weak immune system, making him susceptible to viruses.
“Thank God, he is fine now and has returned home, although he is still taking aspirin to keep his blood from clotting,” his mother said.
‘He is much better in himself. But the fact is, we just don’t know what’s been going on, since he didn’t get a coronavirus test. “
