A member asked:

4 months ago my kid had roseola.2 days ago he had fever & diarrhea. the fever is gone but now he's getting he same rash.is it roseola again? he's 2.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: You have roseola once, although there is no readily available test to confirm it.Many childhood illnesses marked by fever and diarrhea will end in a rash that can be confused with many other conditions.
