Looks like an allergic reaction to something... I had the exact same thing when I was 36 weeks prego. They had to put an IV in me at the E.R. & give me steroids & benadryl.

How did you feel when the rash showed up she is acting normal but is giving me a hard time on eating.?

I'm not sure. I wish I could help.
Here is some info on fifth disease...
Fifth diease:

What is fifth disease?
Fifth disease is a viral infection which often affects red blood cells. It is caused by a human parvovirus (B19). For many years, fifth disease was viewed as an unimportant rash illness of children. Recently, studies have shown that the virus may be responsible for serious complications in certain individuals.
Who gets fifth disease?
Anyone can be infected, but the disease seems to occur more often in elementary school-age children.
How is the virus spread?
The virus is spread by exposure to airborne droplets from the nose and throat of infected people.
What are the symptoms and when do they appear?
Four to twenty (4-20) days after exposure, some children will experience a low grade fever and tiredness. By the third week, a red rash generally appears on the cheeks giving a "slapped face" appearance. The rash may then extend to the body and tends to fade and reappear. Sometimes, the rash is lacy in appearance and may be itchy. Some children may have vague signs of illness or no symptoms at all.
When and for how long is a person able to spread the disease?
People with fifth disease appear to be contagious during the week prior to the appearance of the rash. By the time the rash is evident, the person is probably beyond the contagious period.
How is fifth disease diagnosed?
In most cases, the disease is diagnosed based on the appearance of typical symptoms. A specific blood test to confirm the diagnosis has recently become available but is not necessary in healthy children.
Does past infection with the virus make a person immune?
It is thought that people who have been previously infected acquire long-term or lifelong immunity. Studies have shown that more than 50 percent of adults are immune to parvovirus B19.
What is the treatment?
At this time, there is no specific treatment.
What are the complications associated with fifth disease?
While there is no evidence that parvovirus B19 infection is a significant cause of fetal defects, some studies have shown that infection may increase risk of miscarriage or spontaneous abortion. In people with chronic red blood cell disorders, such as sickle-cell disease, infection may result in severe anemia. Infection has also been associated with arthritis in adults.
What can be done to prevent the spread of fifth disease?
Measures to effectively control fifth disease have not been developed yet. During outbreaks in schools, pregnant school employees and people with chronic red blood cell disorders should consult their physician and the local or state health department for advice.

Here is a picture of it...

yeah it looks like an allergic reaction
a girlfriend of mine has a little boy who seems to be allergic to everything and that's what he looked like

I was going to say the same thing...
I had when I was a junior in High school from volunteering at an elementry school. My rash was a lot smaller, more like perfect red dots all over and I had a couple lace patterns on my back. It didn't affect me much, only made me tired.
You should def. take her to thepedi tomorrow to make sure.

Quoting Jackie0508:“ How did you feel when the rash showed up she is acting normal but is giving me a hard time on eating.?”

I felt horrible... but mine was also really itchy. The rash itself looks almost identical though!! If you google images "allergic reaction", it has some good pics you can compare.

looks like hives to me

my nephew had something just like this a few weeks ago and we found out he was allergic to nuts. they perscribed him some benadryl and it cleared up within hours. now we have an insulin shot to carry around, just in case, and a little braclet for when he goes to daycare that says he can't have any nuts..

I am just a little dissapointed that the dr. didn't look at it longer and just gave me an " I think" and then having her wake up at 3 in the morning with the rash doubled in size. My poor baby. sorry i had to vent that. I have been so mad all day long since the dr.'s office and feeling likeI can't do anything to get rid of it.

The dr. said it look viral but then again everything wasn't a positive as to what it was

he didn't prescribe her anything??

so the doctor just sent you home with nothing?

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.
