Specializes in Pediatrics

Fifth's Disease: The rash of fifth's disease can last for up to 3 weeks, but generally the associated low grade fever, cough and congestion comes early on and is gone with in a week. It sounds perhaps like a new viral upper respiratory infection might be responsible for the new symptoms.
