exposed to roseola - a question...

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

I just got an email from the church nursery saying that Caleb "may have been exposed to roseola" on Sunday.  So far he has not had any symptoms but the info I got said the incubation period is 5 to 15 days.

My question is: we had a playdate with a non-church kid on Tuesday.  Should I alert the mom or do I wait and see if C actually comes down with it?

Oh and shoot... I have a baby at home.  Do I have to keep them seperate??  I guess I have to call the pedi tomorrow.  But in the meantime, do I alert our little friend's mom that he *may* have been exposed too??

    Crying so bummed!  and a little embarrassed but that's dumb because i know there's nothing i could've done differently.  it's not like i did anything on purpose.

    I would want to know in advance, so I can be on the lookout.  In theory, Caleb could have a 15 day incubation period and the other boy could have a 5 day period, right?  I'm just speculating here, but yeah, definitely tell her.

    DD just had this two weeks ago. The child is typically most contagious before the fever occurs. DD had a high fever for two or three days and her appetite was off. Then she had a rash for about 3 days. They say once the rash occurs the child is no longer contagous but I kept dd home the whole week because I did not want her giving it to anyone else. But I also read somewhere that even if your cild is exposed to it that it can take up to 2 weeks for your child to show symptoms. Crazy huh?

    Let her know.  And then don't worry about it too much- if the other child has already had it he shouldn't get it again, and most kids have had it before the age of 2 so there is a decent chance he's already had it.
