Red cheeks: Slapped cheek syndrome, also known as Fifths disease or Erythema infectiosum, is caused by a virus , Parvovirus B19. Most common in children. They have very red cheeks, as if they have just been slapped. It is spread by respiratory droplets. Once the red cheeks appear, the child is no longer contagious to others. There is no treatment and no permanent side effects. It will go away in a few days.
