Does anyone have any tips about fifth's disease? PLEASE??

i've googled it but i think i might have it right now and some tips from someone who has had it would help.

if you've had it can you please tell me how long between the "cold" and the rash? and also how long the rash last? thanks

It is just a viral illness. Treat the symptoms. Motrin or Tylenol for fever, benedryl for itching/rash. Goes away in a few days.

All I know is to make sure no one who is preganant gets it.
