Comment on I'm 14–Is is possible that I have roseola? by Olivia! ♥

i highly doubt theres a chance, as its a virus among small children. by what i have read its a hsv virus and belongs to the herpes family, i am guessing you could get this virus from the mother, during birth and thats why young children get it, only a guess.

but you may just have symptoms to a completly different virus, type in your symptoms into google.

i did some research;

Roseola (contagious) –
A flat, rosy red rash on the chest and abdomen caused by a herpes virus. There is high fever 2 to 4 days before the rash. It commonly affects children between the ages of 6 months and 3 years. The child may feel only mildly ill during the fever. Roseola is infectious for 5 days after first symptoms occur.

is this correct?
otherwise known as Exanthem subitum.

i would most probably just go to the doctors, they will know what it is and treat it best.

Comment on my son has Roseola does this mean? by Mr. Smartypants

Mr. Smartypants — Wed, 12 May 2010 01:31:06 +0000

No. Roseola is a viral disease that infants get (and sometimes toddlers). It causes a rash and high temperature. There is no treatment for it, and it usually goes away by itself. You want to keep his fever down with tylenol, and maybe cool sponge baths. If he has convulsions (rare but possible) get him to the emergency room. It can last from 3 to 7 days.

Herpes is something completely different.

Comment on It's the weekend, does anyone have any advice on Roseola? by norton g

dion – Being a caring parent is not an easy task. Often, a child with roseola develops a sudden, high temperature which usually lasts about three to five days. When the child’s temperature drops to normal again, a raised, red rash may appear on the body and spread to the arms and legs. It is seldom seen on the face. The rash generally last for one to two days and turns white (blanches) when pressed. Some children will have a high temperature and no rash. A few children may have a febrile convulsion (a seizure, or fit) after the high temperature. While this is distressing for the parent, it is not usually serious.
Offer the child lots of drinks (water, flat lemonade or clear broth) to keep her well hydrated during a fever. Antibiotics are of no use and cannot treat roseola because it is a virus.
You should see your family doctor if:
Your child is lethargic (very sleepy, hard to wake).
Your child will not drink.
You cannot reduce your child’s temperature.
Your child has a convulsion (a fit) that lasts less than 5 minutes.

Call 911 or emergency immediately if:
Your child has a convulsion that lasts more than 5 minutes.
Your child does not wake up after a convulsion.
Your child seems very sick after the convulsion.

I hope by the time you read this your daughter will be getting better.

Use a rejuvenating clay for her skin, go to a health store. Read books on natural health, maybe a change in her diet.

This does sound like roseola, as long as he is doing better you dont need to take him to the doctor.

Comment on is it possible to get mono or the roseola virus again? by Lisa

Lisa — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 19:52:44 +0000

I don’t know much about mono, but I know that it is possible to have chronic HHV6 infection, which is the roseola virus reactivated in the body. Symptoms are different than acute roseola, which is a very common childhood illness.
