Slapped cheek

Lindsayloring1 · March 2014

Has anyone had any experience with this? It's apparently a virus that's relatively not serious, but Astin came home from daycare looking like this...

She's acting normal with no fever, so I'm just going to watch it for now.

Aww poor girl, that looks so sore!! Could it be teething though? I know that can cause red cheeks too. I have never heard of slapped cheek, glad it's nothing serious though.

I was just researching that illness...fifth disease right? I thought Emily had it. Nothing can be done about it, you just treat it like a cold and watch for high fever. I remember reading once the rash appears the kid is no longer contagious.

I hate to love it Foxy, but def looks like twinsies to me! Hope C feels better too. Any fever or anything? I took Astin's a couple of times and she was normal

Poor babies! Hope it's not making them uncomfortable.

Aww poor baby! I've never heard of this. Is it only on one cheek usually? Or both sometimes?

My kids have this right now too. DD1 has red cheeks, a rash and had a really bad fever and congestion. DD2 just has the red cheeks and the congestion and a little cough. The pediatrician said to just keep an eye on the baby, but as long as she is eating and making dirty diapers and no wheezing, it's fine.

I googled the symptoms and it sounds like fifth disease, which is a common virus.
