Guest guest Posted November 30, 2001 Report Share Posted November 30, 2001 Hi Bridget, With Fifth disease you get a bright rash on just the cheeks at first. It can look like a slap. Then you get a lacy rash on the arms and trunck of the body later. There is also a low grade fever with Fifth disease which you usually do not get with an allergic reaction. Also when the child is warm or flushed. Like when taking a bath it's more prominent and can also recur after the rash seems to be gone,{which usually lasts about a week} when they are warm. An allergic reaction is usually all over the body right away and many times is hive like. Also doesn't usually last a week unless the offending allergen is constantly reintroduced. I hope this helps!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2001 Report Share Posted November 30, 2001 Thank you ato all who responded about Fifth's Disease. I think I'll have to take her in to determine this, but I'm pretty sure it is an allergic reaction. It is very splotchy all over even on her jaw line, but not on the front of her face. Luckily, there is no itching! mom to Bridget 8 ds --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
