i just changed DDs diaper, and she has a HUGE rash everywhere--from her vagina/butt, up her stomach, chest and on her head (not face). should we go to the ER? she has had a fever the past few days, but not today. i am running the bath water now, but WWYD? tia

Duplicate. Sorry!

Fever followed by rash sounds like roseola, and if thats what it is then dont worry. The worst is over and a roseola rash should not be bothersome for your LO. DD had high fever for 3-4 days then rash for a few days after.

Ditto Roseola.  Don't worry the rash is not bothersome  but FYI the bath may make the rash a little worse.  I would hold off on a bath until tomorrow.  The rash only lasts 1-3 days.

I don't know much about roseola, but agree with pp on the bath. It'll probably make it worse.

Is there a nurse call line at your Pedi? Or can you call a doc. just to ask what they think? Sounds like it might be nothing (based on PPs) but I would want to find out  from her doctor.

Jacob had Roseola when he was younger and it started as a pretty high fever for a couple days then after it broke it got a body rash...there was nothing we could do for it except try to manage the fever.
