What Causes Slapped Cheek?
Hia my friends son recently was told he had slap cheek, the day after me and my daughter were round there we started getting runny noses and coughs and i have had very blocked ears constantly for two days now, one thing i remember about her son when he was ill is he had ear pains. Is it possible that me and my daughter are in the early stages of slap cheek? I realise that the slap cheek rash may not appear for a week after the first symptoms if there are any.

Hello and welcome to healthcare magic.
"Slapped cheek rash" is viral illness (parvo virus).You can catch it from other person via air or water droplets spread by sneezing.
To keep your daughter comfortable keep her breathing pasages clear.Give a lot of hot fluids like soups and ginger tea to keep her hydrated.It is self limiting disease and will pass on its own.Thank you for using healthcar magic.Good luck
