Suggest Treatment For Roseola, Fever, Rashes On Body And Intermittent Vomiting
Question: My granddaughter who is 6 mths old has gotten roseola. Friday night she had fever, took her to dr. and she had the rash everywhere and throwing up off and on. Since Friday, her temps are down , still throwing up some but seems better. Rash is fading, just really left some on her cheek. Im supposed to take her to meet her great grandparents who are in their 80s. Is it risky to take her around my parents. Is she still contagious. we will be going to see my parents this Saturday so it will be a week from when she first got fever. I need good advice, I don't want to make my elderly parents catch it but she is better... Please advise
Brief Answer:
Roseola
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
In Roseola, the rash appears after the virus has left the body. this means that even though the rash may still remain in some form, if there is no fever she is not contagious. As long as she does not have fever, she can visit her great grandparents. They are not at risk.

Brief Answer:
Follow up
Detailed Answer:
She is still not contagious. Make sure, for her own sake, that she says well hydrated. But as far as the illness, if the fever is gone she is still not contagious.
