Does roseola in infants usually cause a runny nose?

Many parents do not understand what the symptoms of an emergency in a child will be. Due to the lack of understanding of the symptoms of an emergency in a child, many parents neglect to treat their children's diseases. The impact of a child's roseola is very large. After the rash appears, many small red dots will grow on the body, and sometimes there will even be other symptoms. Many parents regard the child's roseola as a common cold. So, will the child's roseola cause a runny nose?

Roseola infantum can cause a runny nose. Roseola infantum, also known as infantile roseola, is an acute rash infectious disease common in infants and young children caused by infection with human herpes virus types 6 and 7. The clinical features are high fever for 3 to 4 days, followed by a sudden decrease in fever and the appearance of a rash, and the condition recovers quickly. Prevention of roseola infantum: 1. Keep indoor air circulating, pay attention to temperature and humidity, and avoid excessive cooling or overheating. 2. The diet should be easily digestible food, rich in vitamins, calories and appropriate amount of protein. Increase the amount of water intake appropriately and avoid eating raw, cold and greasy food. 3. General patients do not need to be isolated. In collective children's institutions, susceptible children who have been in contact with patients should be closely observed for 10 days. If they have a fever, they need to be temporarily isolated and treated. 4. Pay attention to environmental hygiene and children’s personal hygiene

Roseola infantum is the most common rash disease in babies aged 6-12 months, with the highest incidence in winter and spring. It is an airborne respiratory infectious disease. Babies often have a sudden high fever with a body temperature above 39 degrees, and other symptoms are not obvious. After about 3-5 days, the baby's body temperature will suddenly drop to normal. As the fever subsides, small red rashes will appear on the skin all over the body, mostly on the trunk. They will all appear in just one day and disappear within 1-2 days. At present, there is no effective prevention method for roseola, because a large part of the transmission routes are asymptomatic adults, so it is difficult to prevent. As parents, you should avoid taking your babies to crowded places during the season when the disease is prone to occur, and avoid contact with sick children or suspicious persons.

Suggestions: 1. If the baby has a persistent high fever, it may easily lead to convulsions. You can give the baby appropriate antipyretics, such as Tylenol, Motrin, and Pain-Rich. Chinese medicine has a good therapeutic effect on this disease. When the fever first occurs, you can take heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs. After the rash appears, take detoxifying and rash-clearing drugs, but they must be taken under the guidance of a doctor. 2. High fever makes the baby lose appetite, so feed the baby easily digestible food, such as soft porridge or noodles, and avoid eating difficult to digest food. 3. The baby has a persistent high fever and has lost a lot of water in the body. You should replenish the baby with water in time and pay attention to feeding him some warm water.

After a baby gets roseola infantum, he may develop respiratory tract infection, otitis media or even encephalopathy. Mommy should pay attention to observe the baby's physical changes.
