My son has Roseola

My boy has been developing a fever and has mild diarrhea for 2 days already. But, he does not appear to be sick and in fact, he is still very active. Because of his body temperature was still high, I decided to take him to see his doctor. The doctor said that my son most likely has Roseola (also known as "Baby Measles"). According to doctor, Roseola is generally a harmless viral infection and is quite common among children 6 months to 2 years of age. Roseola usually starts with a sudden high fever that lasts 3 days and followed by a rash over the body once the fever breaks. Bascially, there's no specific treatment for the illness and the fever and rash will go away by itself. After hearing all these.....now I can breathe a sigh of relief!
