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?

I know this post is old, but sounds like scarlet fever, which is a strep infection not some deadly plague like it sounds! Either way, I hope your baby recovered quickly and is doing better!
