My stepdaughter is at my home from Ohio We are in Texas, after only six days she broke out in a rash all over her body. We have had her at the Dr. twice this week she has had two shots and nothing is helping. The Dr. said she now thinks she has fifths disease. can anybody tell me about this. she is 9years old. Her Mom in Ohio is having a fit and is upset with us saying she got it her can anybody help us to tell her diff. :mad:

you can do a search online to look up the exact symptoms. Generaly within a few days the rash goes away on it's own with no serious side effects. If i'm remembering correctly it can have the such as achyness, fatigue etc...my daughter got this when she was 3 just after starting daycare, she had a red rash (it looked more like a discoloration as there were no bumps or anything, just reddness) from her knees to her belly button, her belly button also looked inflammed. I took her to the doctor and he said that generaly it clears up within 2-3 days on it's own. Hers was gone in about 3 days total i think. My daughter also didn't have any of the other side effects of this and she was fine. From what i know in children it's common and pretty harmless. If you are worried make sure you do lots of research on your own and make sure you follow up with her doctor just to be on the safe side.

i've had fifth diesese, i got a rash over all my body.. we went to the doctor, and he said it was fifths diesese, and it'll go away, and it did, sloely but sure,... u cant really do anything for it..
I had no side effects whatsoever
