Medical Question
I don't believe I have any doctors or nurses on my friends list, but maybe some of you or your children have had the same symptoms and can tell me what we're dealing with.
These symptoms have been going on for 3 weeks now, and we've seen two different doctors. Shelby has white spots on her throat, but both strep tests came back negative. She has a slight rash (you can feel it more than see it) on her arms and legs - it gets worse in the sun. Her tongue is coated white and her breath is Horrible! She's congested and blowing out green stuff.
We went to the first doctor (after hours pediatric care) when the rash first appeared and was told it was viral exanthem and to let it run it's course. 2 weeks later, when it was no better, I spoke to a friend of mine and she said her daughter had the same kind of rash and it was Fifth's Disease (which Shelby had as an infant).
The symptoms of Fifth's Disease did appear similar to what Shelby has, but it doesn't explain the throat and tongue. Does my girl just have bad luck? Is it two different conditions, or does anyone know of something that would have all of these symptoms?
