repost fifth disease and vomiting????

hey everyone

has anyone had an experience of a more severe case of fifth disease that included vomiting and diarehea.

my DD (5) was sent home from school on tuesday cause she threw up - came home - got sick three more times and then diarehea.

wednesday she had a low grade fever, very lathergic and the fifth disease - bright red cheeks came up - took er to the drs - 5th disease. i have seen tons of these cheeks - it is sooooo fifth disease.

today the rash is gone but she is sooo lethargic - not eating or drinking - about a 100 fever - this is so not like her so back to the drs.....

another dr there today said it cant be fifth disease cause she would because she wouldn't be this sick and it doesnt cause nauseau and vomiting....

im confused - i guess whatever it is needs to run its course - but was wondering if anyone else had an experience like this?

Re: repost fifth disease and vomiting????

DS recently had fifths disease. He showed no symptoms except for the red cheeks and a rash on his arms. The doctor said that the symptoms, if any are usually mild. Is it possible that she also may have a stomach virus on top of the fifths disease? I hope that she feels better!
