Question
Recently, a phenomenon has been observed where some infants develop fever symptoms at night, and the treatment is not effective. As a result, parents frequently take their children to the hospital for medical consultation. This raises a question: Can infant measles recur? Is this situation normal, and does it mean that there are certain issues with the child’s body? Should parents consider a comprehensive check-up and seek medical advice?
Answer
Infant acute rash, which provides lifelong immunity, does not recur. It is recommended that parents encourage their children to participate in outdoor activities more often, get more sun exposure, and actively enhance their physical resistance to reduce the occurrence of diseases. Acute infant rash, also known as fever rash or roseola, is a common infectious disease in infants. The disease may be caused by a virus transmitted through saliva droplets but is less contagious than measles. It is more prevalent during winter and spring, mainly affecting children under one year old, with fewer cases seen in children over two years old. Once infected, it usually does not recur.
