What Is Roseola Infantum?

7. When Should You Call the Doctor for Roseola Infantum?
In most cases, roseola resolves on its own without medical intervention. However, you know your child best, so if you feel something is amiss, give your pediatrician a ring. Some signs that may warrant a doctor’s visit include lethargy, refusal to drink and a fever that does not subside after 48 hours.
Emergency medical care may be necessary if your child has a convulsion that lasts for longer than five minutes, does not wake up after a convulsion or appears to be very ill after a convulsion. If your child has a rash and fever at the same time, and the rash does not turn white upon pressing it, call the doctor. It could be a sign of meningococcal infection.
