How to treat slapped cheek syndrome

When my little boy was suffering from slapped cheek syndrome, kids' ibuprofen worked wonders.
Susannah Horton, 29, Bridlington, East Yorkshire

My son had a slight fever when he had slapped cheek syndrome so I bought him some cooling headache pads from Boots. These cloth pads have a soothing gel which cools instantly and take away the pain, as a result he was much more comfortable. They are only 99p for two and worth every penny.
