Question
What are the differences between infant roseola and toddler roseola drug eruption?
Answer
Infant roseola is an acute rash disease caused by human herpesvirus 6, commonly seen in infants and toddlers aged 6 to 18 months. Symptoms include high fever, rash, and general discomfort. Typically, no special treatment is required, and symptoms will resolve on their own. Toddler roseola drug eruption, on the other hand, is a skin reaction caused by drug hypersensitivity. Symptoms include rash, itching, and vesicles. Treatment involves stopping the use of the suspected drug, using antihistamines and corticosteroids, etc. For severe drug eruptions, timely medical attention is necessary, including antishock and oxygen therapy.
