My older son had similar experiences when he was in Middle School - unexplained high fevers that would come and go about every 30 days. But, his doctor never said anything about Roseola. The fevers continued for nearly 2 years! It's very frightening to have to take an older child to the ER, let alone a toddler, and not know what's going on.
To this day, we still don't know. But, he is fine and hasn't had any more feverish bouts.
Hang in there. I hope these episodes don't turn into something more drastic for your son.

Goodness, Alison, how very scary.
