Hi
Ds(4) had bright red cheeks on saturday and then about a hour latter had a rash all over his face which was much worse when he came out of the bath. The rash was there yesterday but very fait. Today he woke up with bright red cheeks and says he has a headache. He is playing and seems ok just a bit run down. He had slap cheek as a baby but had really high temps with it,and I thought you could only get it once. Any ideas would really help.

It is supposed to be one of those illnesses you can only get once, not bad as a child, can be awful as an adult. I got it from my dd when she was 3 and it left me with two bad bouts of chest infections and 8mths of post viral arthritis and mild depression, all recovered now but was pretty awful at the time.
