Answer 1

The poor little guy! I think I can help you. It sounds more like allergies to me. If you want to email me, feel free. I am allergic to wheat, eggs, soy, and dairy, and unfortunately it is hidden in everything, including commercial meat and poultry which is injected with solutions to disinfect the meat. At 9 months, I expect his diet is fairly bland, but you also must consider artificial colorings and flavorings in commercial foods. Perhaps keeping a food diary (nutridiary.com and fitday.com are free online ones) to see if his symptoms get worse with 2 days after eating certain foods. I have found medical doctors to be clueless. I was crippled for 11 years before I figured out it was food related. 2 years after eliminating my allergens I am fine, and my skin conditions cleared up. Email me anytime you like

Roseola is caused by two common viruses. The viruses belong to the family of herpes viruses, but they do not cause the cold sores or genital infections that herpes simplex viruses can cause.

The viruses that cause roseola are spread through tiny droplets of fluid from the nose and throat of infected people when they laugh, talk, sneeze, or cough. It is thought that the viruses are spread by someone who has not yet developed the symptoms of roseola. There is no known way to prevent the spread of roseola.
Roseola often starts with a sudden high fever [103 F(39.4 C) to 105 F(40.6 C)] that lasts 2 to 3 days, although it can last up to 8 days. The rapid increase in temperature may be the first sign of roseola and often occurs before you realize that your child has a fever. The fever ends suddenly.

After the fever ends, a rosy-pink rash may appear over your child's entire body, starting on the torso and spreading to the face, neck, and arms. The rash is not itchy and may last 1 to 2 days. The rash may appear without the fever.

On rare occasions, a sore throat, stomach ache, vomiting, and diarrhea occur.

A child with roseola may appear fussy or irritable and may have a decreased appetite, but most children behave almost normally.

Roseola is diagnosed through a medical history and physical exam. Your health professional often will recognize roseola by the presence of fever and the appearance of a rash.

The roseola fever can be managed with acetaminophen (such as Tylenol or Panadol), ibuprofen (such as Advil or Motrin), or sponge baths. Do not give aspirin to anyone younger than 20 years of age because of the risk of Reye's syndrome.
Roseola generally is a harmless viral infection. Like any illness that can cause a fever, it can cause fever seizures, which are uncontrolled muscle spasms and unresponsiveness that last 1 to 3 minutes. They are seldom serious. The fever seizure is caused by the rapid increase in temperature in a short period of time. Once a fever has reached a high temperature, the risk of a seizure is probably over. Fever seizures are not a form of epilepsy.

Contact your health professional if:

Your child's rash worsens.
Symptoms become so uncomfortable that your child cannot tolerate them.
Other symptoms (such as a fever, a general feeling of illness, or signs of infection) are severe or become worse.
A new rash continues longer than 1 week.
A rash that has been previously diagnosed continues longer than 4 weeks or is not following the expected course.
Your child's symptoms become more severe or more frequent.

Honey, you need to take that baby to another doctor. Roseola doesn't constitute steroids. I'm sorry, but that doctor was wrong for giving your baby steroids for Roseola. Take your child to another city and find a more qualified doctor. Roseola is a skin rash and steroids would agrivate that. Please don't go back to that doctor. As a matter of fact, call the medical board and make sure he's a licensed doctor. Thank you and good luck.

Answer 4

That doesn't sound normal to me, but I'm not a doctor. My advice would be to make arrangements to take him to a doctor in a larger city that specializes in roseola and go from there. Good luck.

Answer 5

I can assure you that's just a reaction to the drug don't worry they were administered in his interest and with him in mind only.

When you say no one thinks that who are they? Please do not listern to would be Doctors. Having a child and know calpol is a sin

Whats more worry his is temperature us a mild paracetamol (calpol) to control his temperature monitor and record.
