Fifth's Disease?

Thanks for all the calls and emails. Lauren is feeling better. Still not sure exactly what she had but more than likely it was Fifth's Disease. The Ped nurse on call, wanted us to try prescription Hydrocortisone creams and Benadryl which did nothing. So more or less she has some type of virus with no fever she is not contagious after the rash appears. Although, it was so severe her skin was just awful, and now it is still broken out a little bit but nothing like Sunday! Her lymph nodes in her neck are still pretty swollen as well. I took pictures of her but you really could not see the rash just Lauren standing with her arms out to her side!

Anyway we will keep a eye on her just in case anything weird comes up agian.
