Symptoms of Fifth Disease

Joint Pain

Another common symptom of the fifth disease is joint pain in different parts. Affected areas can include the knees, ankles, feet, wrists, and hands. This problem is basically more common in adults than in children. It can last for a few weeks before resolving. In some serious cases, joint pain can persist for several months. If you notice any chronic joint pain that does not improve over time, it is important to consult your healthcare provider as soon as possible to prevent further complications.[2]
