Question
Can I bathe my baby when they have roseola?
Answer
After the fever from roseola subsides and the rash appears, the baby is on the mend. If the child is crying and not eating, it may be due to viral infection. At this time, ensure plenty of rest, maintain nutrition and hydration, keep the skin clean, avoid catching a cold, and try to avoid crowded places. Usually, after having it once, they typically won’t get it again. If accompanied by diarrhea, it may be a side effect of medication, which will improve after stopping the medication. If the symptoms do not match those of roseola, it may be another viral infection, but it will also improve on its own after a few days, so there’s no need to worry excessively.
