The difference between baby rubella and exanthema

Many people think that baby rubella and roseola are the same, but in fact there are certain differences between baby rubella and roseola. Therefore, parents should pay attention to these common sense issues. In this way, no matter whether the baby is affected by rubella or roseola, we can treat it scientifically and reduce the impact of this problem on the baby's health. The following is an introduction to the differences between baby rubella and roseola.

Rubella: Symptoms are generally mild, with a body temperature of 38-39°C. The rash appears early and quickly, covering the entire body in 1-2 days and disappearing in 2-3 days. The rash is more common on the trunk and less common on the limbs. After the rash subsides, desquamation is generally not obvious. The lymph nodes behind the ears, behind the neck, and behind the occipital bone are often enlarged and tender. The rash is light red, smaller than measles, and slightly raised. There is no specific treatment for this disease and complications are rare. Roseola infantum: The onset is acute, the condition is mild, and it mostly occurs in children under 1 year old. It is characterized by sudden high fever that lasts for 3 to 5 days, followed by a sudden drop in body temperature. A rash appears after the fever subsides, and the rash disappears quickly without dandruff. The child was generally in good condition during the high fever period, with enlarged suboccipital and posterior cervical lymph nodes and no complications.

The fever of roseola infantum is high, but it will subside on its own after 2-3 days; scarlet fever initially causes chills and fever, redness, swelling and ulceration in the throat, and the appearance of a "bayberry"-like tongue; the symptoms of chickenpox are generally mild, with a low fever. Measles rash appears gradually, usually in about 3 days.

The rubella rash appears quickly, usually all within 24 hours; the roseola infantum rash appears after the fever subsides, usually all within 24 hours; the scarlet fever rash appears quickly and spreads throughout the body within 24 hours; the varicella rash appears in batches and lasts longer. The rash color is dark red for measles, light pink for rubella, roseola infantum, bright red for scarlet fever, and light pink at the beginning of chickenpox, with a red halo around the base after it becomes a herpes.

After introducing these common sense contents, parents should now know the difference between baby's roseola and rubella. Knowing these common sense is more beneficial to the baby's health. Therefore, in real life, no matter which parent you are, you should pay attention to understanding these common sense to help your baby prevent roseola rubella.
