Does this sound like roseola?
My thirteen month old daughter got sick starting on Sunday. She suddenly developed a high fever, but didn't really have any other symptoms, other than being tired and slightly cranky. The first day her fever was around 102. I called the on call nurse since it was a weekend, and she said keep an eye on her and call the doctor Monday if it got worse. Monday and Tuesday her fever was around 103-104, and her appointment wasn't until yesterday. Yesterday, her fever completely broke, but she woke up with a rash on her stomach, back, and face. It was spotty and turned white when you pushed on it, exactly like the rash of roseola. It looks exactly like the pictures I saw online. But the doctor said she just had a throat virus. I know roseola is also a virus, but he didn't even mention that as a possiblity. We had to recently switch doctors due to an insurance change, so this is the first time he diagnosed her. Does this sound like roseola and should I consider finding a different doctor?
