What are the symptoms and care for roseola in infants?

Patient's question:

My baby is 7 months old. In the past two days, he has had repeated fever, but his spirits are good. I searched online and found it might be roseola. What are the symptoms and care for roseola?

Doctor's answer:

The main symptom of infantile eczema is repeated fever, which lasts from one to five days, with most children having a fever for about three days. During the fever, their mental state is generally good. After the fever subsides, the rash appears, and then they enter the recovery period. If the fever exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. After the rash appears, there may be some itching, and parents must be careful not to let the child scratch. Warm water can be used to wipe it appropriately, and medication may be necessary if needed.
