Could Red,hot Burning Cheeks Be Due To Slapped Cheek Syndrome?
I am a 48 year old woman. I work in a preschool. I have had a mild cold all last week and now have bright red, hot burning cheeks. I have had a mild headache, back ache and a have a slight cough/sorethroat. Slapped Cheek is going throught the school. Could I have caught it?

Hi
Thanks for your query at HCM.
I understand your concern and situation.
I see no reason for you to think of any syndrome. You are having flushing of cheeks which can be seen in viral fever. You could contract viral fever from anywhere. You must take rest, acetaminophen and eat protein rich healthy diet with multivitamins and calcium supplement. You must avoid going to school for about week. You must also do chlorhexidine gargle 5-6 time per day.
Best of health.
Hope I answered your query.
