The viral illness called Fifth Disease is going around our elementary school. It is common in kids ages 5-15. It is known for a rash that makes a child's cheeks bright red --sometimes called the "slapped cheek" rash. The signs and symptoms are a low fever, headache and stuffy or runny nose. After these symptoms are gone, the rash on cheeks, arms, legs and trunk appear. It starts out blotchy to a lacy rash. Once the rash has appeared the child is no longer contagious unless fever or just not feeling well. There is no treatment for Fifth Disease and kids recover fairly quickly. Do not give any medication that contains aspirin but can give ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
Pregnant mothers should be aware if they have been in contact with your child and contact their doctor. There are other rashes that can mimic this but usually have higher fever and other symptoms. If you have any questions, you may contact Nurse Eiting at 419-694-2211 ext 1102.
