I'm was actually beginning to think that maybe it wasn't rosela because she never got higher than 102 and she only had a fever for about 12hrs. I'm going to see what it looks like and then decided if it's worth another trip to the doctor. Fwiw the spots are super light. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2339570 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 20:38:57 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2339570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: @BabyBySurpise: The picture looks like roseola to me too. My son had it, he had a low-grade fever, and we didn't take him in until the rash appeared. By then, his doctor said he wasn't even contagious anymore.</p> <p>We've had quite a few viruses where the fever comes first and a rash follows (like HFM). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2339340 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 18:05:42 +0000 babybysurprise 2339340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: thanks! After doing some reading I'm thinking its rosela. It showed up almost exactly 12 hours after the fever broke. </p> <p>May call the ped in the morning cause 7 days ( twice a day) of eye drops just incase of pink eye is not going to be fun for anyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2339335 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 17:55:28 +0000 twodoghouse 2339335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBySurpise: It was just a rash she got at the end of that virus. Almost every time she gets sick (it's happened with colds and with HFM) she gets a rash at the end. It usually lasts half a day, 24 hours at most. It never seems uncomfortable or anything. So weird! I hope your little one feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2339330 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 17:50:27 +0000 babybysurprise 2339330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: did you ever figure out what this was? We were just at the doctor for a fever and a possible pink eye this morning and now she has a rash similar to this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2091742 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 15:31:50 +0000 twodoghouse 2091742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamasig: Yeah, I googled strep throat with a rash, and apparently that's what scarlet fever is! I had no idea. She still feels fine, so I'm thinking it may just be the end of her virus. Fingers crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2091653 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 15:03:32 +0000 Mamasig 2091653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: My niece had a rash once that felt like sand paper and it turned out to be scarlet fever, which I believe is related strip (not totally sure). Good thing, you got LO checked out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2091615 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 14:47:55 +0000 Jass 2091615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo had same thing stomach bug for a week and then rash appeared on her stomach, back and neck..took her to ped and she said that it is sign of viral infection being over and actually she started feeling better the evening rash appeared and I put some coconut oil on it and it was gone in 48 hours...hope she feels better soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2091610 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 14:44:17 +0000 MrsKoala 2091610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>N just had this. He had a stomach bug a 10 days ago. Then he had a random high fever a week after that. Yesterday, he had a similar rash on his stomach. We assumed roseola. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2091510 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 13:54:20 +0000 autumnlove 2091510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, LO 2 got a rash and hives a few times after being sick. Dr told us it was just related to the virus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2091485 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 13:38:58 +0000 twodoghouse 2091485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: Alice's throat was fine too, but she does have some congestion. Interesting. I'll update if we hear that she does have strep! If so, I'm hoping antibiotics will clear it right up and hopefully we can avoid Blake getting it too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2091477 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 13:35:54 +0000 avivoca 2091477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: I can't remember. She was snotty and her throat looked fine at the doctor's appointment, but she was generally in good spirits, if not a little cranky/clingy. If she had one, I probably chalked it up to the change in soap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2091472 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 13:34:31 +0000 twodoghouse 2091472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: Did H get a rash? I never remembered a rash from childhood (I got strep every year, it seemed), so I didn't even know a rash could indicate strep! She's actually in a great mood, so I'm hoping that's a good sign? I guess we'll know in the next 48 hours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2091437 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 13:15:36 +0000 avivoca 2091437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: When H got strep, her rapid test was negative but the 48-hr. was positive. I hope that that's not what it is, but if so, the antibiotics will have her feeling better quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2091421 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 13:05:56 +0000 twodoghouse 2091421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok just took her in. There's a good chance it's just the final hurrah of this virus, so to speak. But, it also looked and felt like the rash associated with strep. She's only 10 months so it'd be weird to have strep, but she was at brunch with an affectionate 3 year old yesterday. Anyway, the rapid culture strep test came back negative so we'll wait to see if the results change in the next 48 hours. The rash itself has spread and gotten "angrier," especially under arms which I guess is common for strep as well. It's rough to the touch (like sand paper) which worried the ped. Anyway, now we just wait and see. Thanks everyone for weighing in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2091356 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 12:43:24 +0000 ShootingStar 2091356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I doubt it's roseola, they usually have a super high fever with that. When D had it, he was between 102-104.5 for like 4 days. My ped said you can often have rashes after a virus. You can check with yours, but I think typically once the rash comes out they're no longer contagious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2091286 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 12:18:11 +0000 mrsrain 2091286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably call the nurse line just for peace of mind, but I wouldn't worry too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2091282 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 12:16:46 +0000 MrsRcCar 2091282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope she feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2091264 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 12:10:33 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2091264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: K usually gets a rash after a virus, but I usually take her if it lasts more than 2 days. Once it was roseola, but it usually is just a viral thing. Hope it clears up soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2091240 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 12:01:11 +0000 hilsy85 2091240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: pretty sure roseola rash only shows up when the virus has run its course so she shouldn't be contagious anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2091212 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 11:47:36 +0000 blackbird 2091212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: I hope that's not it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2090848 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 09:14:40 +0000 twodoghouse 2090848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: Thanks! </p> <p>@blackbird: I hope that's all it is! We are supposed to go see my sister's kids this weekend and we may have to cancel if it's roseola so they don't get it. We are going to ped at 10:30 for them to check her out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2090831 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 09:08:42 +0000 blackbird 2090831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E always gets a rash at the end! The dr always told she was almost over it, then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2090819 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 09:06:44 +0000 californiadreams 2090819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: good luck, and hope she gets better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2090786 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 08:48:09 +0000 twodoghouse 2090786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: Ok, thanks. Our office opens at 8 so I'll call then. </p> <p>Here's a better picture. Ignore the scratch marks. When I unzipped her, Blake got excited and grabbed her. Twins, man, haha. </p> [attach=141/15/nkl7o9.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2090758 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 08:35:50 +0000 californiadreams 2090758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: that's what the rash looked like when LO had Roseola. It could be unrelated to the bug </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2090757 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 08:32:49 +0000 twodoghouse 2090757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: @PinkElephant: Yes, I'd probably better call and see what they say. Ugh, dragging my twins out to the dr twice in a week is not fun! I'll see what they say though.</p> <p>Here's her rash: </p> [attach=141/15/nkl6yq.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2090755 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 08:31:42 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2090755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would also suspect Roseola. Does your ped have a call in line where you can speak to a doctor or nurse? I called once his fever broke and the rash appeared and the doctor let me know there was no need to bring him in. Saved me a copay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2090751 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 08:29:51 +0000 PinkElephant 2090751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was thinking the same - if you think it's roseola probably no need to go in. If I was feeling anxious about it I would just call the ped and ask if you should bring her in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-after-virus#post-2090745 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 08:26:46 +0000 twodoghouse 2090745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: She was running a little warmer than usual, but never over 100 when I checked rectally. She was in the ped on Friday and there wasn't anything wrong, other than teething (new mom fail! Totally thought ear infection). </p>
