Three-day fever, also known as exanthema subitum, roseola infantum or sixth disease, is a typical childhood illness and is caused by viruses.
The doctor can make a diagnosis for the disease only on the fourth day; because the typical rash, which only allows the diagnosis of exanthema subitum, is preceded by three days of high fever. The rash usually begins in the groin area, spreading over the body with red dots/spots that often flow into each other, but quickly fades.
Special features of the disease are high fever from 39°C to over 41°C , which can hardly be reduced. Also characteristic is the subsequent non-itching rash and the relatively good condition of the child during the course of the disease.
Important: Make sure your child drinks enough fluids now.
