Perfect timing, IMO. The doc should be able to diagnose based on the rash itself.AK-74me said:Anyone here have a child or have any experience with this? I think my little boy might have it.

If he's had fifths disease, he should be immune.AK-74me said:No, and he has had that, does that mean he is immune now? He can be fine for hours and then when the fever starts coming back he becomes miserable and nothing can be done to make him feel better. Also I noticed that he is hardly peeing at all even though he is drinking pleanty of juice.
SoMDGirl42 said:now that I think about it, 104 is high for fifths disease, but it could also be scarlet fever. Any sore throat, vomiting, upset stomach?
SoMDGirl42 said:You can also alternate tylenol and motrin. Tylenol every 4 hours and motrin every 6 hours.
That's just wrong. We're talking about a baby here who is sick.AK-74me said:ETA- Who is the a-hole that would give red karma on this discussion..... eff off.
