Toddler with roseola?Has anyone's child ever been diagnosed and then only had a bit of splotchy rash on their cheeks that looks more like hives. Everything I read says that it will be on their stomachs and faces. My son had a high temp for a few days, and then two days after the fever broke he got hives on his face. Now the hives are splotchy and come and go. The doctor says they are unrelated to the fact that he had his varicella vaccine right before the fever and she doesn't think that it is roseola because his throat is/was clear. Anyone have any experience with this? Strange splotchy cheeks after a high fever.

Roseola is more pronounced in infants than toddlers. His reaction to it will be less than it would be for a baby. Beyond that, the rash with roseola happens AFTER the fever breaks, literally within minutes or hours of the end of the fever.
Personally, I believe it would be caused by the vaccine. Doctors never admit this sort of thing. Keep him hydrated, and watch for a rash on his trunk accompanied by a fever, this is a sign of something more like strep or an infection his body cant handle.
As is it, watch him, and let it run its course.

My friend was telling me the other day that her daughter had roseola which she said were basically hives. Her doctor said that it was common for the child to have it a couple of days after they've had a fever. Her daughter had it 8 days after the fever. So they should clear up.

When my daughter was 4 months she got it. She had a fever for 2 days then literaly when she woke up fever was gone but she had a lacey red rash on her cheeks and appeared to act perfectly fine. This did eventually spread down onto her chest and back. One weird thing was that it would fade away and then get really bright red again if she got too hot or cried.
Some children develop only a very mild case of roseola and never show any clear indication of illness, while others experience the full range of signs and symptoms. It's extremely common — so common, in fact, that most children have been infected by roseola by the time they enter kindergarten.
This is also known as 6th disease.
Get the facts on the chickenpox vaccine, treatment, causes (varicella zoster virus, VZV), symptoms and signs (itchy, red rash).
