Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, what you are describing is classic for fifth disease. There is no treatment. The fever ultimately resolves on it's own as does the rash. No need for concern.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
