Fever is gone, but now a rash has appeared

DD had a fever thurs night, fri, and yesterday morning. As of mid-day yesterday, the fever has been gone. She was EXTREMELY cranky yesterday, but seems much better today. Now the only thing is that a rash has appeared on her forehead, behind her ears, neck, shoulders, and chest. Not on her arms or legs. And ideas as to what this might be? I had her to the ped on fri and he said she prob just had a virus.

sounds like roseola.. the rash is actually the least pleasant part imo

Re: Fever is gone, but now a rash has appeared

Definitely sounds like roseola. Nothing can be done. Just wait a few days and the rash will be gone.

Re: Fever is gone, but now a rash has appeared

Another vote for Roseola. The rash actually means it is over. Once the rash breaks out your DC is no longer contagious.

Re: Fever is gone, but now a rash has appeared

Because the temp is gone Im voting for roseola infantum also.....

Do a quick search and see if the rash looks the same....

If she still had a fever I would say scarlet fever (which is really just strep throat)...so you might want to make sure that the rash isnt the same...
