5th disease? Did he has 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th diseases too? Actually, they
do exist. They are just old names for childhood illnesses with rashes. I
think they include measles, rubella and scarlet fever.

Anyway, your answers are he

So the rashes last from a couple of weeks to as much as 5 or 6 weeks. Your
grandson might be more sensitive to the soon for a few months.
