Known as slapped cheeks.

Symptoms
Cheeks become red which has given this disease the name of slapped cheeks. Red blisters appear on arms and legs. There is discomfort, headaches and itching. It lasts approximately 4 weeks. This is a contagious disease and it occurs mainly in children from 4 to 10 years of age.

  • a slightly high temperature.
  • a runny nose 
  • a sore throat
  • a headache
  • an upset stomach
  • feeling generally unwell
The infection is most contagious during this initial period.

In adults, these symptoms are often accompanied by joint pain and stiffness, which may continue for several weeks or even months after the other symptoms have passed.


Causes
Direct exposure or through the air.

Suggested treatment
The immune system system should be strengthened as with all viral diseases through bee propolis, garlic and aloe vera. To relieve symptoms put a little bit of aloe vera gelatin or activator extract on the rash.

Slapped cheek syndrome is usually mild and should clear up without specific treatment.
If you or your child is feeling unwell, you can try the following to ease the symptoms:
rest and drink plenty of fluids – babies should continue their normal feeds .
for a fever, headaches or joint pain, you can take painkillers, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen to reduce itchiness, you can take antihistamines or use an emollient (moisturising lotion) – some antihistamines are not suitable for young children, so check with your pharmacist first.

Unless you or your child is feeling unwell, there’s no need to stay away from school or work once the rash has developed, as the infection is no longer contagious by this point.

It's a good idea to notify your child's school about the infection, so children who develop early symptoms can be spotted quickly and vulnerable people can be made aware that they may need to get medical advice.
