Roseola = Fake Measles??

Fever started on Sep 30 with temperature around 37.5 degree Celsius but it went down after 1st dose of Paracetamol. However, on the 2nd day the temperature was up to 39.8 degree Celsius where Daddy and Mommy rushed me to Mount Alvernia A & E at night on Children's Day!! The fever still continued for another day, ups and downs, though after taking more doses of fever medicines - Paracetamol and Ibuprofen (for fever higher than 38.5, suitable for under 2 years old??) and even Voltaren suppository (painful experience caused by Mommy and Grandma). Yesterday, I was feeling better as the fever had subsided. However, red spots started to appear on my body which became more obvious at night when Daddy pointed out. Not too sure whether I was suffering from HFMD or measles or even dengue fever, Daddy and Mommy started to make SOS calls. Though most of the advices are to observe and monitor, I was brought to Angelin's Baby & Child clinic and confirmed to have Roseola (that goes $65 bucks - really X man ...)

Fever from Roseola is really scary! When Talia had it, I literally didn't sleep for 3 whole nights, sponging her down when her fever went beyond 38.5 degrees celsius!

Lots of hugs and kisses to the little boy!
