Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 11 month old has had a low grade fever and really red cheeks for a week now. He had fifth disease a month ago and I was told they only get that once. Is this true? He also has a rash on his private area and lower tummy that has come up in recent days. What could this be? He doesn't act as if this is affecting him?
