Question
The child has developed persistent fever and, two days after not being treated, a large number of rashes appeared on the body. The doctor diagnosed it as roseola. How long does it typically take for this condition to heal?
Answer
Roseola is a common childhood illness that typically presents with fever and rash symptoms. Without the sudden onset of fever, the condition often does not ease. After the rash appears, it usually takes about a week for the rash to gradually heal, during which no special treatment is needed. Parents should provide appropriate care for the child, use physical methods to lower the temperature, and keep it below 38.5°C. If the temperature is too high, immediate medical treatment should be sought.
