A 17-month-old boy will lose his fingertips and toes after waking up with a rash. Doctors say the outcome could have been catastrophic had his mum not thought to call the doctor. Zoe Walne, 37, says her little boy Teddie, 17 months, first woke up with a small blotch on his head.
The mum of four initially didn’t think much of the rash, and got into the car with Teddie. She had left her partner Duncan Stewart, 39, at home in Burnley, Lancashire, when she got in the car to meet her mum for a walk, she told the Mirror .
But once she got into the car, she noticed the blotches had spread to his tummy. She decided to call NHS 111 for advice, and was told to keep an eye on the rash in case it got worse. Zoe was told to wait for a follow-up call in two hours.
