Louise Thompson has shared a shock picture of a rash on her face – as she said she feels like she’s had “battery acid” poured into her head.
The former Made In Chelsea star took to Instagram to share she had been feeling flu-like in the past few days.
But it had somehow turned into something much worse resulting in a “horrendous” red rash and swelling to her face.
Posting the snap to her Stories, she told her 1.4 million followers: “I honestly feel like I’ve had battery acid poured into my head.
“I’ve been given Co-codamol for the pain but now worried about that interacting with mirtazapine [anti-depressant].”

The 32-year-old explained: “Something I’ve taken in the past few days has turned my typical ‘flu’ into something much worse.
“I can handle temperatures, body aches and pains, but the unrelenting pressure around my temples is astronomical.”
She went on to share: “I’ve woken up with the most horrendous rash and swelling accompanied by this ongoing headache and really bad pain in my face.”
The symptoms are so bad, Louise said she felt like “my immune system is attacking my face”.
“It’s actually a miracle anyone got any sleep in our house last night. Ryan has come down with it too,” the reality star turned mum and fitness influencer added.
As well as her and fiancé Ryan Libbey feeling under the weather, the couple have also been dealing with a poorly baby.
Their nine-month-old son Leo has been on antibiotics after suffering a perforated ear drum.
Sharing a video of their little one feeling a bit better, Louise said: “Little cub is eating again which is good. He’s on antibiotics and has had quite a lot of sleep today.
“He doesn’t want to eat his normal food but likes cold things from the fridge and watermelon.”
Louise recently said she feels “lucky to be alive” following a traumatic birth with Leo which meant she had to stay in hospital for five weeks.
In a heartfelt post wishing Ryan a 32nd happy birthday, she wrote: “Today I’m feeling incredibly lucky to be alive and standing by your side.”
Gushing about her beau, she continued: “I want to share a quick note because everyone needs to know how great you are.
“Firstly, the world would be a much better place with more you’s in it. In fact I DON”T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO WITHOUT YOU.
“I freak out at the thought, but I won’t make this about me and the mental journey we’re on.
"Instead today is about spoiling you and making sure you have the best bloody birthday as a first time dad as poss.”
She ended the post with: “I love you to the moon and back L x.”
