my 4 month old had a fever of only 100.6 it subsided over night, but now she has those red bumps all over her body. could this still be roseola? since her fever never passed 100.6 - she doesn't seem to be bothered by it, but its making me worry like crazy! the dr. said it was roseola but he only talked to me on the phone, since its the weekend.so he didn't see her in person. its even spread to her butt.what do you guys think? |

my 16 month old son came down with fever for three days of 102-104, when the fever subsided a rash appeared on his face neck and belly. he vomits and has little appetite. took him to the emergency and advised it was viral. i am taking him back to the clinic tonight as i thought with the outbreak of the rash, he may have the measles but it sounds like this too. any pics? i am so worried about him. |

my 8 month old boy had fever of up to 39.4degrees + mild rashes. his paedetrician diagnosed him with infection and for the rashes - heat rash. after taking the medicine, his rashes spread and became redder. i consulted the doctor again and was told that it was normal and ok coz the heat was coming out and it's a sign that the fever would subside the next day. true. however, his rashes spread further and to his face! brought him to a skin specialist who said it was heat rash too. when the rashes still did not subside but became worse, brought him back to his paedeatrician who diagnosed it as roseola! the symptoms and signs were not obvious at the beginning. it's harmless but quite infectious just like the flu. now, my son has fully recovered. the treatment - bed rest and losts of fluid as there's no specific treatment for roseola. he was also on homeopathy medicine. |

i have the poster child for this awful disease. the fever broke and the spots arrived and then i looked for the answer to my sleepless nights.
two clinics and several negative answers later, i finally got into a clinic. the doctor kindly soothed my shattered nerves and both baby and i are now on the mend. |

how do we differentiate between german measles to
fasle measles in infants?
if a pregnant woman contacts
an infant few days before the
outbreak of the false measles
of an infant, would that affect her baby. the lady is in the 1st trimester of pregnancy. how can the doctor
be 100% sure about the diagnosis of false measles in
the infant? |
