Question

What are the symptoms of a baby getting roseola?

Answer

Babies with roseola may exhibit symptoms such as fever, loss of appetite, and listlessness. After the fever subsides, characteristic rose-colored rashes may appear. These rashes typically cover the entire body, including the face and limbs. The rashes usually appear 2-3 days after the fever and reach their peak within 24 hours. After the rash appears, the baby’s temperature may drop, and symptoms may gradually improve. However, each child’s condition may vary, and if parents are concerned or notice any abnormalities, they should seek medical attention immediately.
