Question
Does bathing affect pediatric roseola?
Answer
If a child has a fever first, and then the fever subsides 3 to 5 days later, followed by the appearance of many red rashes on the body, this can be diagnosed as pediatric roseola. During the period when the child has rashes, one should not take a bath. Bathing at this time may lead to a relief of symptoms or may invite a cold. Wait until the child’s rashes have completely faded before taking a bath. Rashes in children do not have much impact, and they recover on their own. Wishing you health.
