My son is very sick. He has had average temp of 103-105*F. He hasnt got any sleep, nor have I since wednesday. He wont stop crying...not even for a minute! He is drinking lots of fluids but not eating. He has Rosiola (sp) and its a virus so it just has to run its course. All I can do is give him fluids, childrens motrin (which helps a little-brings his temp to 102), and give him lots of love. I'd just appreciate a little prayer to help him get back on his feet. Poor little guy is miserable.

Thanks guys! Gotta Go!

Love and light to you and the little one

sending my prayers and if he can take childrens tylenol.. alternate that with the motrin it usally works better and helps keep them from getting and imunity to one or the other

my daughter got sick the week before we came up here with a stomach virus, her temp got up to 103.6 and then my 4 year old got it adn his got up to 104.6

THE BOTTOM HAS THINGS TO HELP!!

What is roseola?

Roseola (roseola infantum) is a mild illness caused by a virus. It is generally harmless and is most common in children 6 months to 2 years of age. It is rare after age 4.

What causes roseola?

Roseola is caused by two common viruses. The viruses belong to the family of herpes viruses, but they do not cause the cold sores or genital infections that herpes simplex viruses can cause.

The viruses that cause roseola are spread through tiny droplets of fluid from the nose and throat of infected people when they laugh, talk, sneeze, or cough. It is thought that the viruses are spread by someone who has not yet developed the symptoms of roseola. There is no known way to prevent the spread of roseola.

What are the symptoms of roseola?

Roseola often starts with a sudden high fever [103° (39.4°) to 105° (40.6°)] that lasts 2 to 3 days, although it can last up to 8 days. The rapid increase in temperature may be the first sign of roseola and often occurs before you realize that your child has a fever. The fever ends suddenly.

After the fever ends, a rosy-pink rash may appear over your child's entire body, starting on the torso and spreading to the face, neck, and arms. The rash is not itchy and may last 1 to 2 days. The rash may appear without the fever.

On rare occasions, a sore throat, stomach ache, vomiting, and diarrhea occur.

A child with roseola may appear fussy or irritable and may have a decreased appetite, but most children behave almost normally.

How is roseola diagnosed?

Roseola is diagnosed through a medical history and physical exam. Your health professional often will recognize roseola by the presence of fever and the appearance of a rash.

How is roseola treated?

The roseola fever can be managed with acetaminophen (such as Tylenol or Panadol), ibuprofen (such as Advil or Motrin), or sponge baths. Do not give aspirin to anyone younger than 20 years of age because of the risk of Reye's syndrome.

The roseola rash will go away without medical treatment.

Should I worry if my child has roseola?

Roseola generally is a harmless viral infection. Like any illness that can cause a fever, it can cause fever seizures, which are uncontrolled muscle spasms and unresponsiveness that last 1 to 3 minutes. They are seldom serious. The fever seizure is caused by the rapid increase in temperature in a short period of time. Once a fever has reached a high temperature, the risk of a seizure is probably over. Fever seizures are not a form of epilepsy.

Contact your health professional if:

Your child's rash worsens.
Symptoms become so uncomfortable that your child cannot tolerate them.
Other symptoms (such as a fever, a general feeling of illness, or signs of infection) are severe or become worse.
A new rash continues longer than 1 week.
A rash that has been previously diagnosed continues longer than 4 weeks or is not following the expected course.
Your child's symptoms become more severe or more frequent.

O Angels of God, from heaven so bright,
watching beside my children to lead them aright;
Fold your wings round them, and guard them with love;
Softly sing songs to them of heaven above.
Amen

Peace, love and harmony

I love you very much my friend, and am praying as I write this. We all gather around you with our love.

"Lord bring down the fever, and heal"
