What is slapped cheek syndrome?

a friend of mine had mentioned the same which is when i first heard about it. It is a type of viral infection that mostly affects children between years 4 and 10, even though it can happen anytime during childhood or even adult years. some of the most common symptoms are fever, stomach pain, digestive problems, and headache, but can often get misdiagnosed as a stomach bug or simple viral fever too. It mostly spreads when an infected person coughs or sneezes, and the virus spreads to those who come in contact. In most cases, it gets better on its own, but if you notice the symptoms for a prolonged time, say more than a week, make sure you take your child to the doc. i found this article helpful, and you can take a look too http://www.rch.org.au/kidsinfo/fact_sheets/slapped_cheek_or_fifth_syndrome/
