Question


My son was diagnosed with Roseola..his symptoms were high fever once it went up to 106 he had a fever for about 6 days then got a rash his only complaint was a bad headache when his fever was high the tylenol and motrin would bring his fever down but on the 5th day i thought it was over with cause his fever went away ( in fact it was below normal but then the next morning it was back and at 104.6 i live in Tacoma,Washington..o.k. does this sound like Roseeola? He’s fine now thank you Dianna L

 

Answer


Hi Ms. L,

Sounds like Roseola. With a high temp, and then a rash which presents AFTER the fever breaks, that sounds the most likely.
