We’d hoped Martha would be feeling better when she awoke on Sunday but she didn’t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She didn’t have a temperature but was itchy and part of her skin had peeled under her eye, as if it had washed off with tears. I’m posting this picture of the early signs of her illness so if it ever happens to anyone else it might help with earlier recognition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I didn’t have a clue what it might be, we were racking our brains to link it to something that had happened recently – possibly an insect bite in her armpit on Wednesday evening for which she’d taken some Piriton, maybe sunburn without us realising before we left Canada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We kept looking up online health sites such as The NHS website<\/a>, wondering if a soothing cream or an antibiotic cream would help and wanted to ask a pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yesterday Mike hadn’t managed to get to a pharmacy from the hotel due to a protest march near by, and then today when we did get there we found out that the pharmacists don’t work on Sundays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
