re: My daughters rash any one seen this before??

Quoting Jackie0508:“ Yea the dr. said nothing just that it was a rash and it will go away no cream no advice on what to do or not to do. I asked questions like crazy too but i only got she will be fine.”

If tomorrow it starts bothering her, bring her back and demand something!
If it is 5ths disease there is nothing you can do, but wait it out.

Wow. They acted like it was really serious when I went in... but it might have been because I was so far along in my pregnancy. I'm not sure what the ages are on it, but if she's old enough, you might try some benadryl. It knocked me out, but really helped.

the dr. did advise me to get checked to see if i am immune to fifths. but she also said it might not be fifths. I just want to know what it could be. I asked if it could be an allergic reaction and i told her how we had a huge ant problem the other day in which i sprayed raid around the house but i did that late at night when my kiddo would'nt be in the way and she said that wouldn't do it. I also had cinnamon in her room i am extremely organic around her and we eat cinnamon buns durring the winter so that couldn't be it and i can't think of anything else that could be it.

And every pic i see of fifths the kids faces look soo red "slapped face rash" and hers is normal

See I never got the slapped look. I did however get a bit blotchy towards the end.

Quoting Jackie0508:“ I forgot to add that she isn't scratching and it doesn't seem to itch at all..”

my daughter had the same exact thing. it started in the morning and she was covered by the evening. i took her to an after hours clinic and they said it was probably something she ate and was allergic to or something else that irritated her skin. they just gave me benadryl and it went away in a day

i am gonna see how it gets tomorrow i need to get her back in bed. I hope it goes away I hate looking at it i feel horrible that i have no clue where she got it wether it is fifths or a allergy.

how old was your daughter and what kind of benadryl did you give her?? Is there one for kids?

I think a chamomille (sp) tea bath might help with it if it is bothering her.

I would call around and get a 2nd opinion though.

Quoting Jackie0508:“ how old was your daughter and what kind of benadryl did you give her?? Is there one for kids?”

she was around 1 year. the doctor prescribed it and it looked exactly like that rash your daughter has so i'm thinking it's the same thing. i know it was an allergic reaction cause the benadryl helped immediately and hers didn't itch either, it didn't seem like it bothered her one bit
