Is roseola contagious?

Yes, roseola is contagious. It is a condition that typically affects children and is characterized by fever followed by a skin rash. Most children with roseola do not experience complications and it usually resolves on its own. If a child has a fever for more than 3 days or is unable to drink, it is recommended to see a doctor. Otherwise, there is generally no need for medical intervention.
