Question
How to treat and care for pediatric roseola?
Answer
The symptoms of pediatric roseola include fever and rash. Infants are prone to pediatric roseola after 6 months of age, as this is when the immunity they received from their mother begins to diminish significantly. Symptoms usually appear within 3 to 4 days, including fever, cough, and runny nose. After the fever subsides on the fourth day, rashes begin to appear, typically starting from the chest and back, spreading to the face, neck, and hands and feet. When caring for a child with pediatric roseola, attention should be paid to controlling body temperature using physical cooling methods or fever-reducing medication. Symptoms usually disappear spontaneously within about a week. Answered by: Yu Bo
