Roséola - Treatment

Nombres alternativos

Exantema súbito; Sexta enfermedad

Tratamiento:

No existe tratamiento específico para la roséola y la enfermedad por lo general mejora por sí sola sin complicaciones.

El paracetamol (Tylenol) y los baños de agua fría con esponja pueden ayudar a reducir la fiebre. Algunos niños pueden tener convulsiones cuando experimentan fiebres altas. Si esto ocurre, llame al médico o acuda a la sala de emergencias más cercana.

Posibles complicaciones:

Cuándo contactar a un profesional médico:

Consulte con el médico si su hijo:

  • Tiene una fiebre que no baja con paracetamol (Tylenol) o ibuprofeno (Advil) y un baño frío.
  • Sigue pareciendo muy enfermo.
  • Está irritable o parece muy cansado.

Igualmente, acuda a la sala de urgencias o llame al número local de emergencias (como el 911 en los Estados Unidos) si su hijo tiene convulsiones.
