Hi,

Roseola is mainly caused by a type of herpes virus. It mainly spreads to children through the nose and mouth into the body. It affects when the infected droplets are breathed inside from the infected person who coughs, sneezes or talks.

Children might behave abnormal due to the fever and itchy rashes appears on the neck spreads down to the body. Your child may feel itchy or uncomfortable during the rash stage of roseola.
