And after 'being sent to hospital' and her son receiving a shocking diagnosis, Katie, who is a member of Britain's Biggest Family and stars in the hit Channel 5 show 22 Kids & Counting, has urged parents to 'always listen to your gut.' Posting on social media, on her Instagram stories, the brunette, who found out she was pregnant after being with Connor for six years, uploaded a snap of her youngster in a hospital bed. Alongside the picture, the eighth Radford child penned: 'Thank you everyone for all your messages. 'I rang 111 as he was so unsettled this morning, nothing would calm him down other than a bath.' Alongside a crying emoji, she continued: 'They have said he's got shingles.' Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a viral infection that causes a painful rash. While it's more common in adults, babies and children can also get it. It's caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. After a person has chickenpox, the virus can lie dormant in their nervous system and later reactivate as shingles.

'I [saw] two doctors and got told it was nothing. 'Then after today being sent to hospital they've said it's shingles!!!' Can babies get shingles? IT is more common for babies to have chickenpox, and while they can get shingles, it is rare. For a baby to get shingles, they must have had chickenpox in the past (even in the womb), or they were exposed to the virus during pregnancy or shortly after birth. If the baby's mother had chickenpox late in pregnancy, the baby may have been exposed and developed a mild case, allowing the virus to lie dormant. If a baby got chickenpox in early infancy, the virus could later reactivate as shingles. Signs of shingles in babies include; a localised rash on one side of the body, often in a stripe pattern; blisters that scab over in seven to 10 days and pain or irritability, although babies can't express nerve pain clearly. Chicken pox vs Shingles In the UK, chickenpox is particularly common in childhood. According to the UK Health Security Agency, about half of children have had chickenpox by age 4, and 90% by age 10. While most cases occur in children, infants under four weeks old are at higher risk for complications. But when it comes to shingles in young children, according to Pharmacy Times, for every 1,000 children observed over the course of one year, about 0.74 cases of shingles occur. Katie's sly dig Katie's post regarding her son's rush to hospital and shock diagnosis comes just nine days after she shared a sly dig online about people making 'no effort.' After removing all trace of her child's father from her Instagram and sparking concern amongst fans that she and Connor had separated, Katie posted a brutal poke at those who haven't been present with her son. Posting on TikTok, Katie uploaded a video with the caption 'Only them missing out not Ron ❤️.' Alongside the clip, she wrote: 'One of the most hurtful things as a mum is seeing people who you thought would see your kid all the time make little to no effort.' 10 Just days ago, she shared a cryptic post on social media about people making 'little to no effort' Credit: Tiktok/@itskatiex02x 10 Back in May, Katie shared a brutal post about having 'less people' in her life Credit: Tiktok/@itskatiex02x 10 After claiming to find "more peace", numerous fans were left questioning if the couple had split Credit: Tiktok/@itskatiex02x 10 Viewers also noticed the absence of Connor Carter in the family's Florida snaps Credit: Instagram/katieeradfordd Shortly after posting the 31-second clip, Katie confirmed: 'Just to clarify this isn't about his dad, he still sees his dad 🥰.'
