I am so glad my article helped...that is exactly why I wrote it!
I'm still surprised that Roseola is not even mentioned by doctors, just to give first-time parents a "heads up" that a high fever followed by rash is common. We would still take them to the pediatrician just to make sure there is not something more serious...but just to let us know there is a very, very common virus that causes sudden spikes in temperature (along with possible seizure) and an all-over body rash would be pertinent!
I hope your little one is already feeling better. Take care!
