What Is Roseola Infantum?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
When your child becomes suddenly ill with a high fever and then a rash appears, you may panic. Though it is normal to become alarmed when your child presents multiple, seemingly unrelated symptoms, try not to. A quick Google search may tell you that your child has roseola infantum.
Roseola, also known as sixth disease, is a common childhood condition. Sometimes the outbreaks are local, sometimes they’re random. Cases almost always occur in children between the ages of six months and three years. The ailment is rare in children over four.
