I had a thought today looking at Peanuts slight rash and using the ointment that was prescribed. She had a seizure (febrial) on October 13th. She still had the cast on and was breaking out in a rash her the backside region. The second cast was much tighter than the first that was put on her in August. Anyway, she had her seizure and was rushed again to the hospital. The ER dr said that it was just a reaction to the rash, gave us amox and the diaper ointment, and sent us on our way - that was a Thursday. On Monday, I went back to our Urgent dr because she still had the fever and she stated that Eva had roseola. It was very treatable and actually in its last process. Finally on Wednesday that week, the cast came off and the rash was actully caused by a chemical burn from all of the uhrine that was against her skin. Trust me - I never felt so bad thinking that I could of prevented this rash but that cast was so ackward and tight you couldn't even get a diaper or pad inside of it. On a positive note, the rash did clear up in three days after the cast was removed. That was a happy day!
Here is a link to information about roseola. It is ver common for all children to get it before kindergarten.
