A got a fever over the weekend. It lasted about 24 hours and she had once case of diarrhea and then everything went away. Within a day or so(that I noticed), she developed a faint rash all over her torso, arms and legs. it's not dark and is not raised. The spots are about the size of a pinhead so nothing crazy.
Is this normal?
These are the two things I hate the most....fevers and rashes. I never know

Re: Moms - rash after fever
Really normal for my kids. We're super fair skinned - almost translucent, so I think it's more common with fair skinned kids to get a torso/arm/upper leg rash after a viral-induced fever.
I'm glad she's feeling better.
Are you united with the CCOKCs?
that's what I was thinking but then I started seeing Scarlet fever rash and it made me nervous.
thanks ladies

I worried about this with my kids when they were smaller...my ped said that scarlet fever has a distinct "feel like sandpaper" compared to viral purge rashes. Plus, I think it spreads to hands, feet and faces, but don't quote me on that.
We have a confirmed case of Scarlet fever in our daycare center right now so I should go look it up again just in case.

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.
