update on rash- is there something viral going around?

So I called the Dr. about DS's rash. I was wondering if it had anything to with his flu shot last week. The Dr. thinks they're unrelated and thinks it "could" be something viral. She said not to put anything on it, since it doesn't seem to be bothering him. She said to call back if he developed a fever. Is there somethng viral going around that any of you are dealing with?

Thomas has a rash too (see my post), which I thought was from his new clothes... I have a call in to dr.

What does your son's rash look like?

They're are a couple of red marks on his upper chest, but it's mostly a patch of red marks (almost like little pimples) on his belly.

My 5 year old got fifth's disease last week, it apparently is running through our school. The good news is there really is nothing to do other than lotion to prevent scratching. She was never sick and on day 5, it's just about gone.
