Get Some Rest

CBS News

It may be cliche, but getting adequate rest is vital to the treatment of many conditions, including Fifth disease. Symptoms caused by a virus must burn out on their own, unlike bacterial infections which can be tag-teamed by the body's own immune system and the use of antibiotics. So, since there are no known means of treating Fifth disease with medication, symptom relief is the main focus of healthcare providers. The body has an amazing capacity to heal itself, but it needs all the energy it can get to do so. This is why when you are sick it is best to get some rest, extra rest if at all possible. During periods of rest, particularly sleep, the body generates proteins that are then used to repair cells damaged due to illness and exposure to harmful elements. Without plenty of rest, the body cannot regain the strength it needs to finish off the invading virus.

Get to know an effective manner of treating the symptoms of Fifth disease now.
