Patient's question:
Children have developed some small red rashes on their chests and backs. Last night there were very few, but this morning there were many more. Currently, no treatment has been administered. Children have developed red rashes.Doctor's answer:
Roseola, also known as fever blisters or roseola, is a sudden rash caused by a viral infection and can occur throughout the year, being more common in spring and autumn. It is most common in babies around 6 to 12 months old. The baby first has a high fever that lasts for 3 to 4 days, with a temperature between 39 and 40 degrees Celsius. After the fever subsides, a rash appears quickly all over the body, and the rash disappears rapidly without scaling or hyperpigmentation. There is no specific treatment for this condition, and antibiotic treatment is ineffective. Symptomatic treatment is sufficient. When the baby has a high fever, restlessness, or is easily startled, antipyretic and sedative drugs can be used. If the high fever persists, more fluids need to be supplemented, such as drinking more plain water, vegetable soup, and juice.
