My 22 month old daughter is now in the rash stage of Roseola...I had never heard of it, she had a fever since last friday, then saturday just a temperature and then saturday evening out of nowhere has a febrile seizure...we called the ambulance, and then on the way to the hospital she had 2 more. The ER dr. diagnosed her as having a double ear infection..which was backed up by a second ER dr. We had a prescription for penecilyn and went home. The next day she had 3 doses of the antibiotics and the fever never left. We used Motrin every 6 hours and tylenol in between to control the temp and keep it under control (as instructed). Then she wakes up Monday with a fever higher then ever at 39.6, I take her to the dr and he does not see any signs of one ear infection, never mind two. He can't explain what has taken place and says keep an eye on her. Then Monday evening, I change her for bed, and she has a newly developed rash all over her back...I take her back to an after hours clinic and they say stop the penicilyn and see her dr. again on Tuesday. We then go home monday night, and her fever is gone. Rash in full bloom but no fever..yeahoo!! then we get confirmation its Roseola....after 5 days of scary temp and seizures, I am well learned in the situation and I do wish that more people had insight to this common virus!!!!!!
