What Causes High Fever And Cold Like Symptoms To A 3 Year Old?
My daughter is 3yrs old and suffered from a high fever for about 36 hours, during which her cheeks became increasingly red. I was lloking for the tell-tale rash of fifth disease, but nothing is coming in and it's been 2 days since the fever subsided. What else could this be? Her cheeks are intermittently red, and she has cold-like symptoms, but otherwise feels great!

your child a viral exanthem which is self limiting, if she is feeling well otherwise then nothing needs to be done.If the rash is pruritic then a calamine lotion may be applied
