Infantile roseola can be contagious to children, as it is caused by a viral infection and is somewhat contagious. Therefore, after a child contracts infantile roseola, it is important to ensure that the air inside the room is kept fresh, with ventilation for two hours each day.
If the child is in good spirits, eating well, and has a temperature not exceeding 38°C, physical cooling methods can be applied to the child, and the diet should be diversified. If the child still has a fever after three days, it is advised to promptly get a blood routine and C-reactive protein test for the child. If it is a bacterial infection, antibiotic treatment needs to be added.
