Symptoms Of Fifth Disease

Headaches

Headaches are another mild symptom associated with the onset of fifth disease. This symptom is usually treated with pain relievers or other medication and goes away on its own. This symptom may also go away without the need for additional treatment. If pain and discomfort are severe, rest and activity restriction may be advised until the symptom lifts.
