Roseola? Sorry if it's a repeat.

I know a few babies on here have had a rash with blisters and whatnot but heres what I have going on...

On monday, A had a low grade fever all day and took really long naps. Seemed fairly lethargic.

Tuesday, still had a slight fever most of the day but napped normally and seemed to be in a good mood overall.

Today (Wednesday), I noticed a small rash on her chest this morning and by this evening it covered her chest, back and forehead. 

My mom said she thinks its roseola but I am taking her to the pedi tomorrow anyway. From what I have read there is no treatment. Is this what other babies have had around here? Anyone with experience? How long did it last for you?

It contagious so I think she got it from the 19 month old across the street but dont know for sure.

    Thats def doesn't seem like hand foot mouth (coxsackie virus). That is what some moms on this boards LO's have/had. Sounds like rosella to me. Hope she feels better!

    Maybe Roseola, but the low grade fever makes me think it's something else.. With Roseola they usually have a high temperature for 3-5 days and then when the fever breaks a light rash appears. When my toddler had Roseola (she was 13 or 14 months) her temperature got so high we had to take her to the emergency room - over 105. It was high (at least 103) for about 5 days and then the rash appeared. I say it's worth a trip to the doctor.

    THIS! When L had it his fever was very high, once the fever broke the rash appeared...the whole thing took about a week. The rash stuck around for 3-4 days.

    Maybe it's teething, I've heard that can sometimes cause a rash...Agreed it's worth seeing the Pedi- just in case. GL!

    Thanks everyone. Pedi said it was likely a virus and should pass on its own in a few days. My poor baby doesn't seem to want to itch the rash but isn't her happy self either.
