6Th Disease....ROSEOLA?????

Doesn't sound like roseola. Fifths disease can be itchy, sometimes the child never appears ill, the rash can co,e and go for weeks and can get worse when the child is in the sun/gets hot. The rash looks similar my child had both back to back.

Edited: I don't know what that is. It's doesn't look like the rash my oldest had with either illness. It does kind of resemble what my youngest looked like after jhe got his mmr but he also ended up really sick. It also looks similar to the rash he gets when he has an allergic reaction but it's hard to tell with a picture. Is t rough, raised, flat, prickly feeling, etc?

Sure doesn't sound like Roseola. My daugher had it and mainly had a high fever for several days. Once the rash came it was only there for maybe 2 days and was very faint. I actually felt it more than I saw it.

My other daughter recently had a weird rash that lasted at least a week. She had a viral infection. Is there any chance he is having an allergic reaction to something in the vitamins?

it looks like an allergic reaction type of rash. I would go back to the dr and see if they are still thinking its the same thing. It should be gone by now no matter what it is.

I don't think that is roseola. My son had it when he was 2 (I think) and he spiked a high fever around 104 and then had a rough pin point rash all over his body after. I think it lasted at most 3 or 4 days

Go to www.nvic.org to see what kinds of side-effects have been reported for that vaccine. The docs don't always know or tell the whole story. Good luck. D.

PS. Multi-vitamins with iron are poorly absorbed and can actually be dangerous. Contact me if you'd like to have a chart listing iron rich foods. BTW...the best source of dietary iron is to cook in a cast iron pan, even better than beef. Isn't that interesting?

that is not a roseola rash. i would go back to the dr. my daughter had roseola not to long agao and she spiked a high fever out of the blue that lasted for 3-4 days and then the rash came. it can last a few hours to a few days but did not look anything like that at all. high fever is a main sign of roseola and the rash after it breaks. i woud get a second opinion on that.
