Children and Fevers: Fevers in children are much more urgent than in adults. The rash is most likely related and evidence of how urgent this child's illness is. Please contact or page your pediatrician.

VIRAL INFECTION: Most probably viral upper respiratory infection, lasts 3-5 days, maximum 7 days. Rash may be related to this....., or be from vic's itself. If you suspect vic's then don't use any more. Remember, anything can give an allergic reaction depending on the sensitivity of the individual to different allergen ... Even water; e.g. Cold water can give rise to 'urticarial rash' to the susceptible person.
